Symbols
University hymn
The hymn of Universidad Metropolitana was created in 1975 by Ernesto Luis Rodríguez and Antonio Lauro. It is mandatory in all academic and institutional acts, and it is interpreted after the national anthem of Venezuela.
Letra: Ernesto Luis Rodríguez
Música: Antonio Lauro
Esta casa de amor se ilumina
para darnos la luz del saber:
aquí hacemos fecunda la vida
por caminos que llevan al bien.
Chorus
Profesores y alumnos unidos
en ti vemos surgir la verdad:
somos ramos de sueños altivos
al encuentro de un caro ideal.
Chorus
Venezuela en tus aulas palpita
caudalosa de anhelos la voz
y el samán es hermosa consigna
de inquietud, convivencia y honor.
Chorus
Jubilosos alcemos la frente
levantando el acento feliz;
¡Aquí vive la fe del presente
y en nosotros está el porvenir!
The flag
The background color of the university flag is white with the institutional logo at its center. The orange stripes symbolize the waving of teaching and wisdom.
The Saman
(Arboreal emblem)
The saman tree, located in the Rectorate Square, is the son of the tree at the former headquarters of the Universidad Metropolitana, in San Bernardino. It constitutes the arboreal emblem of this institution, as it is referred in its hymn.
Its planting at the current headquarters of Unimet was carried out in 1976 by don Eugenio Mendoza Goiticoa -main promoter and founder of this university- during a solemn act and surrounded by students and professors.
