Flor Micaela Ramírez Leyva, associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the Coast of Jalisco University Center (located in Puerto Vallarta), a unit of the University of Guadalajara (UDG) of Mexico, visited the Miguel Hernández University of Elche yesterday, May 25, to formalize a specific agreement for movement by both faculty and students, which is a result of prior negotiations between both institutions.

This agreement, fostered by associate professors Ramírez of the UDG and José Luis González of the UMH, will enable equivalency for 15 degree programs at both universities at undergraduate and master levels alike. Furthermore, Flor Micaela Ramírez took advantage of her UMH visit to present the academic, social, and cultural offerings at the University of Guadalajara in addition to her research activity. In the meeting with Ms. Ramírez, Vicente Micol, UMH Vice Rector for International Relations, concluded that the cultural and academic similarities between the UMH and UDG will facilitate movement by the university communities.
