Members of the INTEC Alumni Association (ADE) also participated, adding their support to the institution's mission.
Meanwhile, Rosario Aróstegui, Vice-Rector of Research and Outreach at INTEC, thanked all the partners, students, alumni, and donors on behalf of the university for making this collective achievement possible. “Every contribution multiplies opportunities and opens doors for the future of Dominican youth,” she stated.
