Her name is Maria Passadore,  former worker of Endeavour and co-creator with Josefina Maisonnave, Initium Director,  of “Pura”. This business is dedicated to the management of boutique hotels of less than 25 rooms. She, has been also working on providing students with useful skills for their future, that is why she has introduced new courses, such as Improvisation Workshops. In addition, new classrooms have been equipped with moving furniture and prototyping materials in order to create an evironment which promotes innovation. ~~Last but not least, this year a new departement of Campus Life was created, they manage sports, extra curricular activities, volunteering and every aspect of our lives inside the University. Even though it is very new, it has accomplished many things already such as the creation of new clubs, the Laboral week which consists on a week full of events hosted by companies to better ourselves in the work environment and learn skills for our futures.</~~span>~~ ~~[[File:Z room.jpg|650x300px|Z room.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Z_room.jpg]]~~ ~~Z-room at the main building~~<div>~~[[File:Z room ing.jpg|border|left|650x300px|Z room ing.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Z_room_ing.jpg]]~~ </div><div>~~Z-room at Engineer Building~~</div~~>
