The event begins with the presentation of awards in different categories to recognize the work of some of the many former students who undoubtedly deserve such distinction and who are an example and encouragement for current and future students.
Afterwards, and thanks to the support of the sponsoring entities, we will enjoy some delicious snacks and we will create a space where you can meet up with old friends, students and teachers.
We are waiting for you!

Verónica Codesido, Patricia García, Óscar Penín, María Calvo and María Carrera. The five studied at the University of Vigo and the five are from this Friday Alumni-UVigo Awards, awards that recognize personal and professional work that stands out for its value and for being an example of good work. Their names were announced this Friday at a gala held in the Redeiras building, chaired by the rector, Manuel Reigosa, and which became a great party with which the Vigo academic institution wanted to encourage the relationship with its former students and strengthen the feeling of belonging to the institution, actively contributing to the development and social projection of its graduates. During the event, the Alumni-UVigo Honorífico awards were also presented to Professor África González, and the Alumni-UVigo Distinguido awards were presented to the mayor of Vigo, Abel Caballero, recognitions of the merit of two people especially involved with this institution and whose work contributes to the interests and values of the University of Vigo.
In a gala hosted by the professor of the Faculty of Philology and Translation Susana Rodríguez Barcia, the first to take the stage was the Vice-Rector for Students and Employability, Natalia Caparrini, who briefly explained the reason for these awards and the Alumni-UVigo community, currently made up of more than 1600 people. She also explained the composition of the jury that was in charge of choosing the 15 finalists -three for each category-, from among the more than one hundred candidacies received, and that it was then the Alumni-UVigo community itself, with its votes, that chose the winner of each of the categories.
