?For COMVIVE it is a pride and a pleasure to act as hosts in this event in which we will recognize the effort and commitment of students from all the Universities of Central America and the Caribbean, which are part of the CSUCA, to be able to pursue their university studies from excellence, without a doubt all of them are and will be an example for many other people who are currently studying or even making the decision to start their university studies next year. We hope, in addition to giving them that well-deserved recognition, that they enjoy our country and take home a memory that will positively mark their lives,? said the COMVIVE coordinator.

The last time that Costa Rica organized the delivery of the Rubén Darío was in 2020, when the five public universities assumed the challenge of celebrating the XV award ceremony, for the first time virtually, due to the isolation conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
