Since its foundation 450 years ago, then as the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico, the UNAM (Autonomous National University of Mexico) has been and is the most important cultural institution of our country. The most prominent of men and the most lucid minds of science and Mexican humanism have made their way into the classrooms and through the hallways of the university, not to mention the thousands of students who, with the fearlessness of their youth, have led innumerable civic struggles that have made a mark on the destiny of the country. Its ancestral heritage and its social engagement have given it a prominent spot in the realm of higher education in Mexico, and justifiably so, it is considered the "casa maxima" - the greatest place for higher educational studies.—Clío TV
