The Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca (UABJO) is celebrating its bicentennial anniversary. To commemorate the institution, which was founded on August 26, 1826, the LXVI Legislature of the Oaxaca Congress approved inscribing the university’s name in gold letters on the Parliamentary Chamber’s Wall of Honor.

Following this recognition, the university was officially designated as the ‘Benemérita y Bicentenaria Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca: Ciencia, Arte y Libertad’. The honors highlight the institution’s historical, educational, and cultural legacy, specifically its role as a center for liberal ideology and its part in educating prominent figures such as Benito Juárez, Porfirio Díaz, and Matías Romero.
