On Thursday group visited IMPACTA - a world class technology university based in Sao Paulo. We were welcomed by the school's owner Celio, who also gave the group a tour. The "campus" is located in a high-rise on Paulista Avenue. The school owns 9 floors of the building - which is in one of the busiest and most expensive areas of Sao Paulo.
Our tour included the testing center, IT program area, the graphic design school, the student recruitment office and the student cafe - which had a New York City theme.
IMPACTA has served more than 1 million students during its history. For students of CCC&TI and Surry CC, it has a much different feel than the traditional, rural college campus.
Getting around Sao Paulo isn't easy. It requires either public transportation or lots of walking. Today we mainly walked, which is a great opportunity to see this bustling city up close. The public art and architecture are impressive.
Tonight we meet with IMPACTA students - most of whom have participated in the exchange by coming to CCC&TI.
