INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS FOR RESEARCH ASSISTANTS

They are also encouraged and supported in the admission process to enter universities in the United States, England and Chile for graduate studies.
Currently working as research assistants are Paola María Rodríguez, Elvis Lagrange, Héctor Mendoza, Ángel Martínez, Massiel Victoria and José Luis Barrientos under the direction of Danibel Soto Feliz.
