Professor Djamila Ribeiro took part on Monday, September 22, in Noite Magna<\/em>, a benefit dinner in support of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s (USP) Endowment Fund. As a board member of the Fund, Djamila contributed directly to the fundraising: in addition to purchasing a table at the event, held at the Terra\u00e7o It\u00e1lia restaurant, she donated a lecture that was auctioned alongside works by artists such as Paulo Von Poser, Regina Silveira, Arnaldo Pappalardo, and Cristiano Mascaro \u2014 all with ties to USP.<\/p>\n

The event aimed to strengthen the university\u2019s long-term financial sustainability, bringing together patrons, administrators, faculty, and supporters. A string quartet from the USP Symphony Orchestra (Osusp) performed during the dinner.<\/p>\n

For the Brazilian philosopher, supporting the Endowment Fund means investing in the social transformation promoted by the public university. \u201cI believe in the transformative power of directing resources to projects that foster research in various fields,\u201d Djamila wrote on her social media. She also highlighted the importance of USP Diversa, a dedicated fund linked to the Endowment, which provides scholarships to students in situations of social and economic vulnerability.<\/p>\n

All donations collected \u2014 including the auction\u2019s proceeds \u2014 were fully allocated to the Fund. Noite Magna<\/em> shows how philanthropy can be mobilized to strengthen public higher education with responsibility, transparency, and a commitment to inclusion.<\/p>\n

The event also reinforced the strategic role of the Endowment Fund\u2019s Board of Directors, which is responsible for selecting projects and defining investment guidelines. The Fund operates under Law 13.800\/19, considered a benchmark in governance in Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cI postponed my trip for a special reason. Now it\u2019s time to finish packing and leave with a sense of mission accomplished,\u201d the philosopher wrote on Instagram, referring to her upcoming move to the United States, where she will take up a post at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to teach in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Visiting Professors and Scholars Program. Djamila is the first Brazilian in history to hold the position.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
