Message from THE PRESIDENT

Dear members of the university community at PUC-Rio
Faculty members, students and technical-administrative staff; alumni, benefactors, friends and partners of our University.

I would like to send a cordial greeting and leave it for the record my thanks for all the messages and expressions of support, commitment and hope that I have received.

I welcome this appointment in the spirit of a service to the dear PUC-Rio.

This gesture of trust on the part of the Grand Chancellor, Archbishop Orani Tempesta, OCist., confirms the continuity of this service of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) to PUC-Rio – present since its foundation. Likewise, it confirms the trust in the entire university community - faculty members, students and technical-administrative staff -, considering it capable of once again institutionally renewing itself, with creative fidelity to its identity and mission.

In this sense, this event evokes the collective meaning of this mission and invites us to assume it together. In fact, since I arrived, I understood that the strength of PUC-Rio lies in this sense of community that with tenacity, competence and dedication, commits itself daily to this institution that awaits in itself a great educational project of hope for our dear city of Rio de Janeiro and also for our dear country.

Warm hugs to all.


Fr. Anderson Antonio Pedroso, S.J.
PUC-Rio´s President
