UASD institutional and academic updates
Overview
The Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) continues to advance institutional modernization through infrastructure upgrades, digital adaptation, and strategic planning.
To support long-term goals, Rector Jorge Asjana David led the ‘Sensibilización e inicio de la gestión universitaria UASD 2026-2030’ workshop for new academic authorities, focusing on digital transformation, research, and internationalization. In academic discourse, the School of Philosophy hosted the ‘Filosofía de la ciencia, ética y futuro humano’ symposium, where the Rector emphasized that advancements in AI and biotechnology must be guided by ethics to ‘safeguard human dignity.’
Technological and research initiatives include a new digital platform for managing evidence for MESCyT evaluations and the presentation of Smerly Rodríguez Jiménez’s legal research on constitutional control. The university is also navigating the long-term implications of its digital transition following the COVID-19 pandemic, noting faculty adaptation to tools like Moodle and Zoom despite challenges such as connectivity and unequal device access.
Infrastructure projects remain a priority, with recent remodeling efforts launched for the Faculty of Health Sciences (FCS) to modernize academic and administrative spaces. Additionally, renovated facilities were inaugurated at the UASD-Higüey Center, including a Physiological Sciences Laboratory and a specialized Geography classroom.
Academic milestones include Professor Yindhira Taveras becoming the first faculty member to earn a doctorate in Civil Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, which will lead to a new road safety research laboratory. Furthermore, the university inaugurated its ‘First International Postgraduate Congress UASD 2026’ to promote national development and academic exchange, while Ana Lucía Beltré, Director of the Barahona Campus, was selected as an alternate member of the University Council.
