In an act chaired by the rector of the University of Murcia, José Luján, a plaque has been discovered by which the faculty hall will now carry the name of the mathematician;

an assembly hall that has been left to pay tribute.

"After a lifetime dedicated to mathematics, to the department and to the university, this is our humble contribution to keep your memory in mind," said Eliseo Chacón, director of the Mathematics Department, whose seminary will now also have the name of Bernardo Cascales.

Cascales, who held the position of Vice Chancellor for Coordination and Internationalization, was a member of the first promotion of mathematicians at the University of Murcia and spent his entire career at the teaching institution.

The rector of the University of Murcia has left patent in his speech the emotion that everyone present had to remember Bernardo Cascales.

Luján has reflected this generalized emotion affirming: "In this final intervention I, as rector, should string together a discourse with words like energy, enthusiasm, enthusiasm, dynamism, restlessness, companionship, responsibility, commitment, love and memory, but emotion does not let me do it. , at this moment there is a lot of emotion in this assembly hall that we have just dedicated to Bernardo Cascales, for that reason, instead of words, I ask that you accompany me in a strong and meaningful applause of memory for our companion and of affection to his family " .

Part of his family was present at the event and received the Gold Badge of the Faculty of Mathematics granted to Cascales.
