A commitment to society and education

For over 12 years, Ternium México has recognized student talent and future professionals in the engineering and steel industry, with the goal of fostering dedication and excellence in education among young people.

To date, the steel company has honored the academic excellence of over 300 students in Nuevo León and Colima, where Ternium has a significant presence in the country.

Recognition of effort

At the ceremony, Eduardo Samuel Véliz González, a graduate in Chemical Engineering from the School of Chemical Sciences, addressed the award winners, emphasizing that effort will always be rewarded. He also noted that as graduates, they have a responsibility to further develop their skills to contribute to creating a society with better conditions.

“It doesn’t end here; there is a world outside the classroom waiting for our best. We must continue to explore our highest capabilities and work towards creating a more sustainable, progressive, and well-prepared society to meet both current and future challenges,” said Véliz González.
