During the event, the 200
or so people were welcomed by Rector Pere
Alavedra, who spoke to them about the UIC as a place
where students can acquire the skills needed to become graduates valued by
modern society.

Belén Zárate, the Vice
Rector for the University Community, then gave a brief presentation about the
courses taught at the university and talked about the UIC's four key values:
people, the heart of our mission; the search for the truth; social commitment;
and professional prestige. A video about the 2011-2012 academic year was then
shown.

After the presentations,
the families were given a guided tour of the campus facilities, depending on
their children's interests and the courses they intend to study.

The event concluded with
drinks in the Garden Hall.
