On Saturday June 13, Centro Universitario Incarnate Word (CIW), UIW’s campus located in Mexico City held commencement ceremonies for its second graduating class. Twelve students earning their Bachelor of Business Administration degrees crossed the stage with UIW administrators, faculty, friends and family looking on. 

CIW student, Carlos Salvá graduated knowing his future was secure having landed a prestigious position with Procter & Gamble Worldwide (P&G.)  During his junior year, Salvá was accepted as an intern with P&G Mexico after passing a grueling exam, surviving a tough interview process as well as competing for the position with 45 other students from universities across Mexico.  Salvá held that position for over a year and was then offered a full time position, upon graduation, where he will manage P&G Mexico operations in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca managing a $7 million dollar budget.  Salvá accepted the offer with the condition that he be allowed to complete the coursework necessary to receive his final diploma required by the Mexican government.  Not only did P&G agree they also offered to fly Salvá to Mexico City each week at their expense for the four months it will take him to complete the program.

“The P&G internship program is one of the most competitive in Mexico.  We are proud that Salvá’s skills and abilities in combination with the academic level and education that CIW provided, allowed him to be successfully recruited by P&G. We extend our congratulations and well wishes for a successful career,” said Marcos Fragoso, CIW Mexico Executive Director.  

CIW commencement was attended by UIW President, Dr. Louis J. Agnese, as well as other dignitaries and special guests including UIW faculty and members of the UIW Board of Trustees.  Dr. José Manuel Vargas served as the keynote speaker for the event.

Dr. José Manuel Vargas is a lawyer with more than 10 years of experience in International Business.  He has more than 25 years of service at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México.  He is an author and has been awarded many medals for his academic service.

CIW opened as a way for students in Mexico to earn dual undergraduate college degrees from an American university that are fully recognized on both sides of the border by each country’s respective education agencies. The school opened in Fall 2004 with 25 students offering only three programs and now has more than 200 students and offers 8 programs.
