GSGS Regional Hub Latin America celebrates its first students graduating with a Master’s in Sanitation and Sanitary Engineering at UTEC

17 gradutes from the first batch of the Master’s in Sanitation and Sanitary Engineering received their well-deserved diploma degree during the magnificant ceremony held at premisses of the CAF in Montevideo, Uruguay. In addition, 47 graduates received their Specialization Diploma in Sanitation and Sanitary Engineering. Graduates from Brasil, Peru, Honduras, Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama, and Uruguay had the opportunity to share the results of their thesis research in front of the packed audience in Montevideo and online.

The postgraduate program was established in 2022 and is delivered by UTEC – Universidad Tecnológica del Uruguay with support of IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, under the framework of the Global Sanitation Graduate School (GSGS). The progam, led by the GSGS Regional Hub Director, Prof. Hector Garcia, is the first postgraduate program on City-wide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) in Latin America. In addition, a new batch of 35 students in the program started a few months ago, so we are looking forward to more celebrations in the future.

The GSGS takes this opportunity to congratulate all gradutes from this program on their achievement, and to thank the UTEC team, lecturers, and leadership, IHE Delft lecturers, and all individuals and organizations who made this program such a formidable success.
