“1st INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND MULTICULTURALISM CONGRESS 2024”
The 1st International Business and Multiculturalism Congress celebrated its first edition with great success, addressing key topics for the economic development of the Dominican Republic and its integration into global trade. The event, organized by the Universidad Domínico Americana (UNICDA) and the Dominican Association of Professionals in International Business and Related Fields (ADOPNIA), took place in an atmosphere of collaboration and learning, with the participation of renowned experts from various fields, both local and international.
During the congress, attendees had the opportunity to listen to in-depth analyses on the Dominican Republic’s logistics hub, customs and port management, and international economic relations—issues crucial to the country’s development. One of the most notable moments was the opening panel, titled “Trade Relations between the United States of America and the Dominican Republic with Impact on Multiculturalism and the Economy of Both Countries,” led by Mr. Enrique Fernández, a member of the board of directors of the Dominican-American Cultural Institute.
The event also featured high-level experts and officials, such as Gabriel Mascaro, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Relations (MIREX); Silvestre Enmanuel Lora, Head of Relations with Haiti at MIREX; Juan Lorenzo Castillo, Head of the Green Customs Department at the General Customs Directorate (DGA); Manuel De Jesús Crisanty, Technical Director of Port Authority; Giselle Rodríguez Escofe, Director of Planning and Development at JABIL; Mirla Solano, Customer Service Manager at DP World; and Antonio Ciriaco Cruz, Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences at UASD, who enriched the session with their interventions on the challenges and opportunities facing the logistics and customs sectors today.
The congress also addressed how multiculturalism influences trade relations and how the economies of the Dominican Republic and the United States are intertwined in a global context that demands adaptability, innovation, and strategic cooperation.
This event established itself as a key platform for strengthening international cooperation ties and exploring the latest trends in international business, fostering a space for exchanging ideas and creating strategic alliances between academic, governmental, and business institutions.
We thank all attendees, participants, and speakers for making this event a resounding success, reaffirming the commitment of UNICDA and ADOPNIA in training professionals prepared to face the challenges of global trade in a multicultural world.

Donation of toys for María Teresa de Corletto School
On Thursday, December 5th, the **Department of Extension and Social Outreach of our American Dominican University (UNICDA), with the support of students and community members, held an emotional toy delivery event at the María Teresa de Corletto School, benefiting more than 135 children aged 4 to 12 years. The main purpose of the activity was to bring joy and hope to the little ones during this holiday season, lighting up their faces with smiles and special moments.
The event was a true reflection of the solidarity and social commitment of our educational community. On this occasion, the students of the Tourism and Hotel Management program played a fundamental role, as they, with dedication and creativity, prepared delicious muffins that not only added a sweet and special touch but also made the day even more memorable for the children.
The delivery also received support from Helados Bon, whose collaboration was key to complementing the experience, bringing a refreshing and flavorful touch to the little beneficiaries.
The delivery event, filled with emotion and gratitude, not only provided toys and treats but also reaffirmed the value of solidarity and the importance of bringing the magic of Christmas to those who need it most. Such initiatives also strengthen the sense of community, teamwork, and everyone’s commitment to the well-being of those around us.
We deeply thank all the individuals, organizations, and students who made this noble cause possible.
Thank you very much for believing in the power of giving and in the importance of sowing hope in our hearts!
