Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) rector Ivan Grullon Fernandez has announced that the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Civil War will be commemorated with a full program of events. The program will begin today, Tuesday 14 April 2015, with the exhibition “April in the National Bibliography” at the UASD and will end in December.
Grullon spoke of the heroic deeds at the university, stating that the Reformist Movement, which brought democracy to the university, had taken an elite institution and transformed it into a university for the masses.
At a press conference yesterday, Monday 13 April 2015, he said that it would be a festival of culture, with a concert by the Venezuelan group Los Guaraguaos on Monday 27 April and more than 200 other events in the 19 provinces where the university has its branch campuses as well as in the capital.
