Universidade de Ribeirão Preto

The wealth generated by the production of coffee led to the region attracting migrants from various parts of the country and immigrants from abroad, including a significant number of Italians.

In 1961, the Faculty of Law, Laudo de Camargo, was established as well as courses in Social Services, Industrial Chemistry and Business Administration.

To accommodate the growing range of subjects taught by the university, a new campus was opened in 1971 in the Ribeirânia neighborhood of the city, covering an area of 120 thousand square meters.

Under her leadership, the university invested in research in fields such as speech therapy, computer engineering, tourism, nursing, and various areas of social, health, environmental, and biotechnology studies.
