Our colleague Dario Anschau received the Brother José Otão medal from the president of the Marist network, Br. Inacio Etges, and from the rector of PUCRS, Br. Evilázio Teixeira, due to the 25 years of work dedicated to the Institution. A unique and important moment in his life, that of his family and friends.

Dario joined the Marist network in 1994 and traveled a long way until he reached the financial supervision of the Instituto do Cebra do RS, where he has worked for four years, and where he currently faces a great challenge with the expansion works of InsCer. < / p>

Check out the interview with the employee:

When you entered the Institution, did you imagine that this would be your second home for 25 years?

Working at PUCRS was a dream come true! I joined at the age of 21, a young graduate student. That year, Brazil began a new era of economic stability, with the creation of the Real Plan, companies in growth and expansion. Several other work options were presented, but ended up staying at the University. Today, after 25 years, I understand more clearly that what happened was not just a matter of wages, earning more or less, but a life option that is to work in a Marist Institution.

How did it feel to receive this honor from the president of the Marist network and the rector of PUCRS?

First of all, a lot of joy, meaning a life mission in line with the Institution's values. It is like receiving a hug from your parents after a long journey. The father says: "My son, you are to be congratulated for getting here, all your effort is recognized, but remember that the journey continues". That's how I feel.

Over the years, what roles have you played in? Any more challenging moments in this whole period?

I started in 1994, at the Faculty of Informatics, today Escola Politécnica. A few years later, I started to work at the Undergraduate Secretariat and, finally, at the Graduate Secretariat, always serving students, teachers and management. In 2002, I was transferred to PROAF's Academic Financial Sector, in the role of Academic Collection Assistant. In 2007, still in the Financial Sector, I moved to the role of Administrative Manager for the sector. The work, in addition to coordinating the assistance to parents and students, also consisted in the management of people in the sector, with the objective of providing the best service and responding to the demands of PROAF in the collection of tuition fees for Undergraduate, Graduate and Extension.

The biggest challenge came in 2015, when I moved to Financial Supervision at the Instituto do Cebra do RS. Throughout my training, the University's academic processes were very present, which made it easier to work in new areas. In the area of ​​health it is quite different, the world has its own complexities and it was challenging to develop new skills for the area.

Was your professional development accompanied by personal development?

When I joined PUCRS, I was already attending college, in Accounting. I always sought personal training first, and professional development followed. In Post-Graduation I did two specializations, Finance and Management and Competitive Intelligence. Participating in extension courses, such as specializations, lectures, seminars and courses, are essential to keep up to date with the world of work.

After those 25 years, what do you imagine for the future?

To continue working, preferably in the Marist network. At InsCer, a major challenge is the completion of the Phase II Project, which involves the construction of a building and the Development Research (R&D) project for new Radiopharmaceuticals. The applied research stage is a major driver of new emotions and challenges; is to be at the frontier of knowledge.
