La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Chile realizó su primer concierto el 7 de enero de 1941, iniciando un trabajo ininterrumpido que hasta el día de hoy ha aportado de manera significativa a la formación de cientos de músicos nacionales.
La actividad, en la que participan los estudiantes de la Escuela de Verano de la Universidad de Chile, busca complementar las actividades académicas de dicho programa con el deporte, entregando una perspectiva de formación integral de los jóvenes.
El organismo colegiado que funciona como superintendencia de la función evaluadora y supervisa los procesos de evaluación y calificación académica y el proceso de acreditación institucional, entre otras labores, inició su trayectoria el año 2006 a partir del actual Estatuto Universitario. Los ex integrantes de la entidad recibieron la Medalla Andrés Bello en una ceremonia realizada en el Salón de Honor de la Casa Central.
Este 5 de enero comenzaron las matriculas para los estudiantes que ingresarán este año a la Universidad de Chile por las vías de admisión de ingreso para ciegos y personas con estudios medios en el extranjero.
