As part of the commemoration of the psychologist's day, a sample of projects of the learning journey that the students have been carrying out during the semester took place. During their introduction, the importance of having an area of specialization and the advantages of being a registered psychologist after obtaining their degree were presented.
Fourth semester students who focused their project on social and labor psychology, titled their project "Labor Inclusion"; which consisted of looking for opportunities in different companies for people with different abilities and give them a sense of belonging. Their project showed that there are vacancies in many companies but that these people do not seek these jobs due to lack of information. Her biggest goal was to achieve a change of mentality.
Other fourth-semester students conducted a workshop to raise awareness about people with disabilities among university students, carrying out integrative activities and raising their awareness through the use of wheelchairs to achieve greater empathy.
To close the day, the students received two workshops. The first one, given by teacher Guadalupe Samaniego, was about the analysis of resilience in children through a thanatological perspective. In it, the workshop leader began by giving the definition of resilience, which comes from the concept resilio; which means to jump backwards. In psychology, resilience is the capacity of human beings to overcome emotional pain and continue with their lives. She also pointed out that children are more capable of adapting to this type of loss or grief because they are not accustomed to so many experiences and do not handle prejudices; on the other hand, adults have a more limited way of thinking. Through family, individual and social perspectives, the carver analyzed these concepts with the students.
On the other hand, the Attention Deficit Disorder workshop was also held, which was taught by Monica Silerio, who provided didactic material with psychometric and value tests to diagnose children through self-evaluations. All this in order to know the impulsive characteristics that children have and to detect what their solutions are when dealing with frustration. The workshop leader pointed out that the diagnosis of a child with attention deficit is from the age of three, however, it is possible to start working with him/her from the age of five.

As part of the commemoration of the psychologist's day, a day of lectures and workshops was prepared for the psychology students. Beginning with a lecture by Monica Marin, Surgeon graduated from the UNAM, the students learned how to make a deep analysis of the attention deficit disorder.
Based on the fact that it is a condition linked to hyperactivity and impulsivity that cannot be cured but can be controlled, it has been related to children directly to distraction, however it has nothing to do with intelligence. As a curious fact, being children who do not measure risk situations, they are more prone to accidents and injuries; and therefore have a higher pain threshold.
Throughout her lecture, the speaker provided various statistics, such as the one that states that 75% of the cases of ADD that are treated remain until adulthood; however, once the patients have been discharged, although the disorder remains, they themselves recognize the symptoms that produce it. Or the fact that the disorder is much more common in men than in women, on a scale of 3 to 1. Besides being one of the most studied disorders, it is also hereditary, although there are prenatal factors such as the use of drugs or alcohol during pregnancy. Interestingly, it has been stipulated that 75% of people who consume harmful substances suffer from the disorder.
Likewise, the speaker admitted that the generations have advanced in a convincing way, since, in most cases, when people realize that something is wrong with their learning process, they themselves are the ones who request psychological treatment.
Generally, in many schools, children with attention deficits who are restless and impulsive are rejected. Part of the therapy that psychologists should provide is to tell moms that this has nothing to do with the education they have given their children, but that it is a learning problem and needs to be treated.

Uninnovation Day is a Uni program that allows students to present a business model project to be evaluated by experts.
Gastro students presented macaroons titled "mexirrones" with Mexican flavors such as marzipan and chocolate abuelita.
Other students presented a cab App to improve cab service and boost local commerce.
In Communication, "Little House", an app to give street dogs a home, and the "Naterba" store, which offers a healthy option for the consumption and trade of these products through organic gardens, were created.
Automotive engineering students created smart, climate-adaptive building blocks for the poor made of unicell with resin.
In the area of Architecture, "Ecobijas" were created, quilts stuffed with newspaper for people with limited resources, a project similar to the one presented by the Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, who used plastic bags to create the mattresses, with the idea of teaching the communities to make them themselves.
In the case of Industrial Engineering, the young people designed lights for bicycles called Magic Straw.
Also presented was the project for a biodegradable candy straw that paints drinks containing toxic substances in a stronger color.
This event is the culmination of a process of research, analysis, planning and creativity that students develop every year during a semester to provide innovative solutions to existing problems.

Gracias al apoyo de la Universidad de Celaya, Educafin y Ulinks, cinco compañeros de la universidad y yo tuvimos la oportunidad de convivir y compartir una experiencia en el extranjero con un grupo de más de 40 estudiantes de diversas carreras de diferentes universidades del estado de Guanajuato; estudiantes ejemplares que de alguna forma lograron destacar por iniciativas emprendedoras, excelencia académica, méritos deportivos, proyectos de innovación, etc.
La finalidad de esta prueba piloto era crear una conexión entre Universidades de ambos países y cambiar la mentalidad de que México depende únicamente de Estados Unidos; además de crear puentes en vez de barreras, y poder ver todo lo que Canadá ofrece a sus ciudadanos así como a la gente que lo visita.
Durante nuestra estancia en Canadá, fuimos bien recibidos y tratados con mucha atención de parte de los colaboradores de Educafin, Unlinks, de las empresas y universidades anfitrionas, fuimos bienvenidos a todos los lugares que visitamos y eso me hizo sentir muy bien y con ganas de regresar pronto.
Pude darme cuenta dentro de mi corta estancia que la ciudad de Toronto es una ciudad bastante diversa en cultura, y me sorprendió que, a pesar de esto, la gente aprende a respetar las diferencias que existen entre personas y a convivir en el día a día.
Es por esto que me atrevo a decir que la diversidad no siempre es motivo para que una ciudad tenga más problemas, sino al contrario, da pie a una mayor contribución para solucionar problemas y crear un ambiente de paz y tolerancia.
Canadá en general es un lugar con oportunidades para todos y con un alto índice de calidad de vida; esto quiere decir que la ciudad provee las condiciones para que la gente pueda tener estabilidad y satisfacción en distintos ámbitos como la salud, vida familiar, comunitaria, trabajo, política, etc. Esto es porque el gobierno cuida bien de su gente mediante acciones que benefician a todos y porque las inversiones de recursos llegan a donde tienen que llegar.
Por otra parte, tuvimos el placer de conocer una representante del Consulado General de México en Toronto, que nos explicó las diferencias entre una embajada y consulado, así como las funciones principales del consulado de representar y proteger a la gente mexicana que reside en la ciudad de Toronto.
Una de las cosas que más me gustó de mi visita fue visitar la ensambladora “Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company”, y ver un día normal de producción en sus instalaciones. Fue una experiencia inolvidable ya que nunca en mi vida había estado en una armadora de carros; donde además pude notar el alto desarrollo de tecnología en la automatización de sus procesos, la gran infraestructura y nivel de organización de una planta de una de las marcas más importantes de vehículos del mundo. También me sorprendió mucho la rapidez con que terminan un vehículo para ser vendido y satisfacer la demanda del cliente, o mejor conocido como tackt time, que es de un minuto aproximadamente.
Este viaje significó mucho para mí, ya que fue una oportunidad o un privilegio, más que una derecho, el de realizar una estancia en el extranjero y es por eso que me llevo la satisfacción de haber sido elegido entre muchos alumnos y el compromiso de seguir estudiando y esforzándome para seguir siendo un estudiante ejemplar e incentivar a otros estudiantes a aprovechar este tipo de apoyos que da el gobierno y echarle ganas al inglés, que sin duda es un idioma que cada vez es más necesario para ingresar de forma exitosa al mercado laboral.
Por último, quiero mencionar que el compromiso de que haya una mejor educación en el país no es únicamente del gobierno, sino de todos los habitantes, padres de familia, hijos, estudiantes, hermanos, compañeros etc. ya que, en colaboración de todos, es como el país puede progresar para que los mexicanos tengamos una mejor calidad de vida.

Last year the University of Celaya and the Bachelor's Degree in Gastronomy presented the photobook "De Boca en Boca" which gathers the wise culinary advice that our people transmit from generation to generation and mixes it with a series of photographs of men and women who preserve and renew our valuable gastronomic traditions.
The book has a prologue by Josema Azpeitia, gastronomic journalist and editor, professor of gastronomy at the Basque Culinary Center and winner of the Basque Gastronomy Award 2013, who upon receiving a copy of the book in recent days wrote this post with his impressions:
HUMIDIFYING MEXICO
In my last post yesterday on Facebook I mentioned my esteemed Chef César Sánchez, professor at the University of Celaya, and his theory on humidity to which he compares me for my quality. to sneak in everywhere.
Like so many things, it was a post I was looking for to facilitate the entry of today's post, because I could not let another day go by without thanking the renowned chef and professor for the great honor he has given me by proposing to prologue the reissue of "De boca en boca", a conceptual and visual book on Mexican cuisine that captivated me when the first edition of the book fell into my hands. The day before yesterday I finally got the copy that you have sent me and I have been very happy to see that the reprint respects 100% the spirit of the original book.
"De boca en boca" is a marvel for the eyes and the spirit. It is a book that without words and with a beautiful handful of selected and significant photographs, makes us feel, touch, smell... the dishes that emanate from the kitchens and the wisdom of a few cooks from Guanajuato who open their hearts to the authors and make them participants of various tips, secrets, legends... that they have distributed throughout the book, between photography and photography as a link between the images (or maybe the images are the links between the quotes, who knows).
The fact is that "De boca en boca" thus becomes an original, different, essential book, which creates a desire to go to Guanajuato and delve into its gastronomy much greater than the best Lonely Planet or Michelin guides can create. "De boca en boca" reflects the reality of the cuisine of that little piece of Mexico that is Guanajuato in an authentic, real, sincere, direct way... it is a volume that undoubtedly deserves a Gourmand award for its quality and its deep human and gastronomic charge. It is a book with soul, with weight, with character like very few others.
As I say, friends of the University of Celaya, it is an honor to leave my mark on this book, and a priceless prize that you have allowed me to extend my "humidity" beyond the Atlantic Ocean, in this wonderful land, in this country where I have great friends like Javier Bernal and Alondra Maldonado, also great lovers of gastronomy who I know will be thrilled to know that I am sneaking into your home, even if it is only on one side.
Thank you, friends, for letting me stick this spike in this land, in this great country that is called to be (I think it already is) one of the great and inescapable culinary references of the world and an example of variety, color, flavor, respect for tradition, taste, imagination!

El Doctor Pedro Espino nos visita de la Universidad Autónoma del Perú con motivo del Congreso Internacional Global Meeting ya que es un investigador experto en innovación y emprendimiento. Por tal motivo, nuestros alumnos de la Prepa Uni tuvieron la oportunidad de charlar con él para entender como el mundo está en constante cambio y movimiento y cómo los jóvenes deben adaptarse constantemente a nuevas circunstancias continuamente y ser felices a pesar de ello.
En la charla, el Dr. Espino les mostró poco a poco el funcionamiento de una empresa y cómo hacer para que todas sus partes funcionen, y vieron algunos ejemplos del por qué es importante que una empresa contribuya a la felicidad de sus colaboradores; pues para que exista un ambiente más feliz no es estrictamente necesario tener instalaciones como las de Google, pero sí motivarlos y hacerlos sentir como elementos valiosos del equipo de trabajo, ya que la actitud y el compromiso de su personal hará la diferencia en los negocios.
Nuestros jóvenes de Prepa Uni, como futuros líderes, entendieron que necesitan tener mucha dedicación para lograr hacer una diferencia en aquello que les apasiona.

"The world, my home that I protect" was the title given to his lecture to the architecture students by Civil Engineer Joel Rayas, zootechnician and soon to be master in land roads.
In this conference we talked about how the construction industry has severely affected the natural ecosystems in which we live and how we must find solutions, materials, projects to recover spaces for the species and above all to change the consciousness of society to take care of our world.
He showed the differences in construction in our country and in first world countries, expressing that our highways, for example, could improve and pollute less if they were well built and with a different structure, since in our country there is no respect for the flora and fauna and the rate of rescue of trees felled in these projects is very small because they are only obliged to rescue 15 to 20 trees for every 100 that are felled.
He spoke to our architects about the importance of caring for wild animals such as opossums, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, hares, among others, and the way in which they will be affected by constructions, because once man creates infrastructure in the middle of their habitat, these species are destined to mistreatment, segregation and even extinction.
On the other hand, he gave the students some examples in countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, where infrastructure, roads, etc., include bridges and wildlife crossing areas for both terrestrial and aquatic animals.
He demonstrated how other materials can be used in the industry as an expansive clay that is an ecological building material, showing how contact with water closes its cracks, which also makes it a very effective material.
He concluded that to generate a change in the planet we can start with small actions such as not littering, not feeding animals and not domesticating wild animals.

Mi nombre es Nayeli Melecio Rodríguez, soy estudiante de sexto semestre de Comercio Internacional.
Gracias a la Universidad de Celaya tuve la oportunidad de participar en el programa “Innovation, Leadership and Entrepreneurship” en Toronto, Canadá.
Durante el programa fuimos recibidos por varias universidades reconocidas de la ciudad, la Universidad de Toronto, la Universidad de Ryerson, la Universidad de Humber donde nos dieron la bienvenida y tuvimos pláticas para conocer la experiencia de mexicanos que residen en Canadá, y la Universidad de Lakehead donde tuvimos un taller muy interesante donde participamos en varias dinámicas para conocer nuestro estilo de liderazgo.
Conocimos empresas del giro automotriz donde nos dieron un tour por la planta, en Martinrea los directivos nos hablaron sobre sus perspectivas del TLCAN, en Toyota pudimos ver el proceso de los autos Corolla y en Magna International tuvimos una plática sobre la historia de la empresa.
También tuvimos la oportunidad de ir a Steam Whistle Brewing, una fábrica de cervezas originaria de Toronto.
Dentro de las actividades culturales, visitamos sitios emblemáticos de Toronto, la CN Tower, el Palacio Legislativo de Ontario, el museo Royal Ontario que cuenta con colecciones de arte de culturas antiguas como la Romana y la Egipcia, minerales, fósiles, entre muchas otras piezas; la Isla de Wards a la que llegamos en Ferry y las Cataratas del Niágara.
Al principio fue difícil para mí salir de mi zona de comodidad y tomar el riesgo de vivir esta experiencia pero después de este viaje tengo la seguridad de que arriesgarte es una de las mejores cosas que puedes hacer ya que te cambia totalmente, conoces partes de ti que no sabías que existían y es la mejor forma de crecer.
Este viaje me ayudó a ampliar mi panorama y mi punto de vista, al escuchar las distintas opiniones de los conferencistas, al ver los procesos de las empresas, la avanzada tecnología que utilizan en las empresas y universidades y poder experimentar la forma de vida de un país tan distinto al mío, me ayudó a ver la imagen completa y no solo mis creencias y pensamientos, a preguntarme ¿cómo es que puedo mejorar mi entorno, como podría innovar en los campos de mi profesión y a cuestionarme sobre todo lo que me rodea?
De manera personal, despertó en mí muchas inquietudes sobre mis metas a futuro, me ayudó a creer en mí aún más para lograrlas y me inspiró a nunca quedarme quieta, siempre buscar nuevas formas de hacer las cosas, buscar nuevos proyectos sociales, continuar aprendiendo francés y practicar regularmente el inglés y lo más importante, decir siempre sí a los retos que se presenten.

Stephen Ezell, vice president of the Washington DC - Based Think Tank and member of The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation ITIF, talked to our Communication and Marketing students about the 10 keys that organizations must understand about themselves and their competition to develop strategies that make a difference and are more effective.
These innovation keys that should always be kept in mind are: business model, networks, organization, processes, product performance, product platform, service, channels, brand and customer engagement.
When organizations analyze how the competition is using these points, it will give them tools to innovate and distinguish themselves, making it easier to achieve their objectives.
This videoconference is part of the cycle of talks with experts that our students have continuously as part of the Start Up Center Program, a space that motivates our young people to imagine, innovate, create and undertake.
