RECENT TESTIMONIAL
“As a mentor at the UNNO Institute, Adriana Ocampo has promoted the development of long-term,
sustainable STEM education projects, strategies, and activities with a gender focus. In addition to this,
every time Adriana has the opportunity to visit our city, she gives inspiring talks to girls and young
people in the public schools of Bogotá. From her leadership capacity, Adriana has also been my mentor, promoting my leadership and female empowerment skills, which have allowed me, within my role as Director of the UNNO Institute, to lead initiatives that promote STEM education opportunities for more girls and women, for local, regional, national, and Latin American impact.
