New Website for University of Havana on Its 280th Anniversary

Havana, Dec 26 (acn) A new webpage dedicated to the 280th anniversary 
of the foundation of the University of Havana will be able for internet 
surfers as of Wednesday.

Milagro Martinez, executive secretary of the organizing committee of 
the activities to mark the anniversary, told ACN that the new website 
(www.uh.cu/280) will include details of the activities that will be 
held on this occasion and other historic data as well as information on 
the current situation and perspectives of the education center.

The website also includes statistics of graduates and current students 
and information about outstanding national personalities who have 
studied at the University of Havana and about the active participation 
of the student movement in the struggle for national independence.

It will also include information about the increase in the number of 
careers studied at the university - which is currently 90 - compared to 
the seven that were studied at the Royal and Pontifical University of 
Saint Jeronimo, as it was initially called when it was founded on 
January 5th, 1728.

Martinez said that one of the activities that will take place to mark 
the anniversary will be a workshop in which Havana Historian Eusebio 
Leal will give a conference on the historicity of the University of 
Havana.
