Delivery of Public Leadership and Commitment Honor Medal to Rosa María Payá

Carlos Williamson Benaprés, rector of San Sebastian University announced the recognition ceremony with the Medal of Honor of Leadership and Public Commitment, which the Leadership School of our House of Studies has awarded Rosa María Payá, for the notorious example of service public, selfless work for the most needy, and the deep commitment to promote freedom and democracy in Cuba, Latin America and the world.
The Vice-Rector for Student Development, Magdalena Vicuña Undurraga, presented her distinction to this recognition on past May 4^th.

After receiving the award, Rosa María Payá expressed that «for me it is a great honor and I thank the University for this recognition, which is given in the framework of the defense and rescue of the principles of Christian humanism that are the guide, the inheritance of the work of my father. I also recognize this award as a way to honor his legacy and to honor the struggle of all the Cuban people. »

It should be noted that this is the second time that the USS Public Leadership and Commitment Honor Medal has been awarded. Previously, in 2017, the honorees were the marriage of Lucy Ana Avilés and Benjamin Walton who provided the resources for the arrival of the «SuperTanker» plane to support and contribute to the fight against the forest fires that affected the south central zone of Chile.
