Also, it is located on top of the fourth floor of the Science Building; and has a dark/storage room, computers room, and visitors room underneath. The UPR Humacao Astronomical Observatory is open to the entire University community and general public in the island free of any charges on most Thursday nights and the talks can be in Spanish, English or both (depending on the audience), always welcoming questions during the presentation.

 

UPRH stimulates literary, musical and theatrical creation in the university community, through various events to present the art-

works, such as contests, festivals and recitals. Also, provides the opportunity to the talent of the university community through the

creation of projects, exhibitions and presentations that serve as artistic experiences that reinforce their learning process in our

Institution. There are a wide variety of registered student organizations at UPRH, including academic, professional, special interest,

and multicultural groups. UPR Humacao students are welcome to join existing organizations or create their own.

Casa Roig Museum was donated by the Roig family to the University of Puerto Rico at Humacao and opened its doors to the public

on 1989. Since then, it has been a historical footprint and testimony of the prairie style adapted to the tropic, and a cultural

dissemination center.
