Guide for Students from a CDL Alumni

Today we had the pleasure to welcome back one of our alumni, Claudia.

The students spend some time at the auditorium today, where Claudia gave them some insight on university life.

She talked to our students about leaving the CDL bubble and going out to the world of a Uni student for the first time.

Claudia gave them some very useful tips and tricks, as well to advise when it comes to university and making choices.

The students were able to ask her questions and solve their doubts about this experience that most of them will be embarking very soon.

Claudia also talked about her new job as a lab researcher. She explained a little bit about the virus outbreak and the how’s and why’s of the COVID-19 pandemic.
