Mission Statement
Public Universities in Venezuela rely on government funding for 95% of their income, funding that has been decreasing since the early 2000’s. It is time for Venezuelan universities to seek new funding sources. In the meantime alumni, specially those living abroad, can build networks to stand by their Alma Mater by providing financial support, supply materials or equipment to improve teaching activities, ensuring that the quality of education doesn’t decrease due to the intense economic, political, and social crisis that is hurting Venezuela. LinkedIn shows that over 4,000 profiles from Universidad Simon Bolivar (USB) alumni are registered as residing in the US alone, and according to the site, the US is the second country with more alumni profiles after Venezuela. Therefore we want to become the networking promoter between Universidad Simon Bolivar alumni outside Venezuela, universities, and private organizations based in the United States with the goal of improving educational activities held in the USB.
