The immersive hybrid classrooms, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence, are already implemented in 33 classrooms at the University of Celaya to guarantee a safe return to classes next August, ensuring the continuity of academic quality.
These classrooms are already being used by teachers and students at all levels, such is the case of the Master's Degree in Administration, where there have been very good comments about how well the technology and the 4K camera system works, which, thanks to artificial intelligence mechanisms, have facial recognition that follows the teacher around the room and recognizes the human voice, eliminating environmental noise to achieve greater fidelity in the audio, giving fluency to class participation.
In high school, in biology and mathematics, Rosalba Vega, a 4th semester student, says that the hybrid classrooms allow her to pay more attention and concentrate during class, improving her academic performance and a better group dynamic, as well as the confidence of feeling safer in a classroom with fewer students.
Thanks to this integral model of educational evolution, more meaningful learning experiences will be generated for students and teachers, since the integration of technological-academic components within the classroom will allow interaction between students who will attend classrooms in person and those who will participate remotely, stimulating collaborative work, discussions in real time, critical thinking, to mention a few skills.

Juan Carlos Gallegos, Global Business student was winner of the State Scholarship "The Washington Center" for the period August - December 2018, here he tells us about his experience.
Living abroad and getting out of my comfort zone are some of the things I enjoy most about having an international experience. Washington, DC is a city full of opportunities with many professionals looking to make their mark on a political or economic landscape. Living there has taught me many things about the culture of the United States and why certain decisions are made. As part of this experience I had the honor of being part of The Washington Center doing a seminar on public policy and project development. During this period I was working in the North American Regional Office of ProMexico, where I learned many things, but above all how to approach future investors to the Mexican market. The city, besides having a great political importance, also has a networking culture. During my stay I had the opportunity to meet different members of embassies from countries such as Germany, Mexico, Japan, Switzerland and New Zealand, as well as collaborators from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. Finally, I emphasize that all of this is achievable by being proactive and having an open mind to the different opportunities that one is presented with.

PREPA UNI students represented us at ALEXMUN 2019, a United Nations simulation event held at the Alexander Bain Institute in Irapuato, which was attended by about 200 students from different high schools in the country.
To participate in this event, students prepare their proposals and documents two months in advance. In these forums they must consider the political position of the country, important social events, problems, economic generalities, etc.
Some of the committees in which our students participated were: OECD (Organization for economic cooperation and development), UN WOMEN (United Nations Women), UNCHR (United Nations High Conditioner for Refugees), UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund).
After 3 days of long debates and negotiations in English, students VEVA MIRIAM CABRERA and PIA VIEYRA ARROYO won the Best Delegate and Best Diplomat awards respectively.
