Mariano Puig, member of our institution's University Advisory Council (CAU), has passed away. The businessman had held also his position as director of the fashion and perfume company Puig for several decades.

Mr Puig formed part of the University's CAU from day one, and until now had been an active member. He even attended the Council’s very first session, which was held in 1999.

He gave the inaugural lecture for the 2011-2012 academic year, as well as various other lectures at a number of our faculties.

Puig also received recognition for his work and career at the UIC Barcelona Alumni Awards in 2017.

UIC Barcelona would like to express our deepest condolences to his family and we ask that you pray for him.
