UPS-Quito president Viviana Montalvo, congratulated the author, the students who helped in the book, and the University Publishing house- Abya Yala-UPS.

The book was written with the help of UPS students from the following nationalities: shuar, achuar, kichwas and afro-ecuadorians. They talked about their feelings, perceptions, motivations and adaptation process as students. The study was conducted by Di Caudo with the assistance of Sara Madera, a philosophy and pedagogy student. 
UPS- President Javier Herran started his speech by greeting everyone in Kichwa he then said that this book is the starting point to find out the type of society students want to live in.  Marcelo Farfán, Ana María Narváez and René Unda highlighted the book´s contribution in academia.

Di Caudo said the book shows the life of each student who lives in the Universtiy residency, "they talked about their experiences and thus students and researchers learned together".
