Rosas emphasized her commitment to leading CU-Chapala as a distinguished center for innovative higher education, focused on creating a positive social impact in the region’s communities and conserving Lake Chapala.
She was joined on stage by outgoing UdeG Rector Ricardo Villanueva Lomelí, his newly elected successor Karla Planter Pérez (the university’s first female rector), and Chapala Mayor Alejandro Aguirre, among other dignitaries. The audience included UdeG faculty and students, state and local government officials, and members of the Lakeside area’s academic community.
