The Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (UNCUYO) in Argentina has inaugurated its first all-female leadership team in its 87-year history. Adriana García has assumed the role of Rector alongside Ana María Sisti as Vice-Rector for the 2026–2030 term.

Rector García stated a commitment to redefining higher education through digital modernization, academic innovation, and student welfare while maintaining the institution’s identity as a public and inclusive entity. 

The new administration faces immediate challenges regarding faculty salary deductions following strikes. Vice-Rector Sisti noted that the administration is entering local negotiations with unions to decide on these deductions.
