BUAP celebrates 30 years of Environmental Sciences graduate programs

The Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) marked the 30th anniversary of its Master’s and Doctoral programs in Environmental Sciences. The milestone was commemorated with a colloquium featuring Rector Lilia Cedillo Ramírez, who was recognized as one of the academic founders of the programs.

Over the past three decades, these programs have focused on the study and preservation of natural resources, including water and soil. The graduate programs currently serve more than 50 students from diverse scientific backgrounds, such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to environmental challenges.

During the event, program coordinator Edith Chávez Bravo presented Rector Cedillo with a recognition for her foundational role in establishing these academic paths, which aim to train specialists capable of addressing contemporary ecological issues.
