Students from Universidad Panamericana (UPANA) have achieved notable results in national law competitions, according to a recent announcement by the institution. Participants from the Faculty of Legal Sciences and Justice won first place at the 2025 Interuniversity Legislative Moot organized by the Congress of the Republic of Guatemala. Their team proposed legislation to address odor pollution, aiming to fill a legal gap with practical solutions.
The winning students—Brihan Joel Herrera, María Fernanda Buch, Mayra Alejandra Vásquez, Andrea Karina Sazo, and Daniela Alejandra Ávila Barrios—are based at UPANA’s Central Campus in Spazio and Campus Naranjo. Through their involvement in this competition, they experienced firsthand the legislative process and strengthened their professional skills.
Additionally, three students from UPANA’s Cobán Campus secured first place in an Intellectual Property Mediation Competition organized by the Mediation and Conciliation Center of the Intellectual Property Registry.
