The National University of San Agustín in Arequipa (UNSA), in southern Peru, marked its 198th founding anniversary with a day of ceremonies involving the whole university community.
The programme included four flag-raising ceremonies for the national and university flags, in the Biomedical, Social Sciences and Engineering areas and at the Rectorate, a mass at Arequipa Cathedral and a solemn session at the Municipal Theatre.
The central session recalled the institution’s history and recognised the contribution of teachers, students and staff to almost two centuries of public education.
