September 25, 2012

Dr. José E. Valentín Mercado, Chancellor

Last Monday, September 24, seeking the cooperation with projects involving education, research, and self-management of the island's north and east municipalities-- including Culebra and Vieques-- UNINI, FUNIBER, and the Conservation and History Trust of Vieques, signed a cooperation agreement, which is hoped will be the beginning of various joint projects, in addition to supporting UNINI's online programs in the areas of Environment, Projects, and Strategic Management. To kick off this collaboration, a Continual Education Workshop on Marine Pollution of 100 contact hours will be offered to the general public.

Those interested in more information should call UNINI, FUNIBER or the Vieques Trust.
