After 10 years of extraordinary service to the Belen Jesuit Community through the Ramón Guiteras Memorial Library, Mrs. Marta Cosculluela has announced her retirement.
Our Library Director’s last day will be Friday, December 9, 2016 at which time Mrs. Alina Alpizar will serve as interim director.
Mrs. Cosculluela leaves behind a library that has been a center of learning for our students. The expansion of our electronic databases, AV materials for faculty and staff, and solid financial administration of the annual grant we receive from the Ramón Guiteras Foundation are just some of her great achievements. We are grateful to her for her hard work and dedication to Belen and to Jesuit education.
Please join me in thanking Marta Cosculluela for a job well done and congratulating her for her extraordinary service.
Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
