The Institutions Santo Tomás (ST) Iquique headquarters officially began the class period for new students belonging to all the careers of the ST University (UST), Professional Institute (IP) and Technical Training Center (CFT). This year and due to the pandemic, everything that was previously done in person, now was through virtuality, a situation that did not prevent academics, heads and career directions from delivering a cordial and first greeting, as well as a presentation by Teams, about everything about the institution where the new tomasinos and tomasinas will begin their path to Higher Education.

For Emma González, new student of Psychology at UST of the afternoon session highlighted the instance of orientation. “This year I decided to grow as a person and after finding out about the university with the best recognition in the country, I decided to enter here.

I feel accompanied to take my first steps to university higher education”.

The departments that will be of great help to me are the Learning Center, Library and DAE ”.
