"This is an area that creates opportunities for future projects in the university", said Flores.
For Dennis Chang, the creation of audiovisual encourages learning and development of skills
related to the use of production tools, as in the case of Social Communication major. "When you
hear about the projects, as well as the experiences of students and teachers, I cannot help but get
excited and be part of these processes," said Andres Bayolo.
Flores explained that during several semesters they have organized activities related to the
university's social responsibility and commitment to vulnerable sectors in Guayaquil. "We have
had the expected results, I believe professors', students' and officials' commitment is still strong",
he said.
On the other hand, this major is currently preparing "Communication Week" where students will
present the main activities it carries out, the results of the teaching-learning process and the
overall aim which is to encourage students' participation.
