Although the clouds persist and more rain is announced, since Monday 29th began to arrive the students who will make up the Introductory Faculty of Informatics Sciences (FICI) of the University, in this academic year. On the morning of this Wednesday, August 31st , another group of them was received by directors of the center, FICI and political and mass organizations.
They come with their habits of upper secondary education that they have just left behind and the faces of amazement before the unknown, that are slowly clearing in the reception given to them in teaching building 3, who will soon know why it is Known as " the Chinese building ".
According to Mella newspaper, Mayra Durán Benejam, secretary of the General Secretariat of the University , and Sarianny Olivares Aguilar, vice-dean of University Extension of FICI, the registration so far is 967 new comers ; among them 905 new incomes and the rest is reincorporated by License of enrollment. They are from the 14 provinces of the country and the Special Municipality of Isla de la Juventud. The largest amount comes from Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Villa Clara and Pinar del Rio, in that or. The provinces with less students are la Isla , Ciego de Ávila and Mayabeque
Some enter directly and others are deferred. They come from pre-university institutes, competitions, Order 18, MINFAR and MININT. There are also three transfers from other higher education centers and an equal number of foreigners, as well as repatriants. They will be organized in 34 groups to receive classes.
All the university council is in charge of making them feel comfortable: while the Medical Center guarantees the body temperature check, the FEU and the UJC give them the reception and guide them, Transport has a bus to move them to the Residence. Professors enlist them for the registration and sworn statement. FICI guarantees other activities during the week.
A sketch of the history of the center makes them proud to be part of this Tropa de Futuro, irrebatibly given to the Revolution, where all together they carry out solid and comprehensive projects. But before they get busy, they have a few days to go to their residences, receive the study materials, know where their classrooms are and the complex of dining rooms that they have, get acquainted with each other and start making other friends.
They will then immerse themselves in the tasks of the University Student Federation (FEU), decide whether they will participate in the Cultural Festivals or Mella Sports Games, or both, what contributions they will asume to make their FICI school among the best schools. They will understand that, being integral, the studies will be the first thing to become in five years in Engineers in Informatic Sciences to the service of Cuba.
That expects the UCI of the new students and in return will give them unforgettable memories of their passage through this house of high studies. The teachers will invite them to share new projects of social benefit that will be a catalyst in the exchange of experiences and their preparation to be the best professionals.
