Descripción:Multiple authors have pointed out the lack of services for postgraduate students in higher education institutions, and recommend the universities to develop programs for addressing the needs of this population. As a response to this situation, in this essay, we describe the implementation of a project with this same goal from a private institution of higher education in Puerto Rico, within 2010 and 2015, as well as, the components and contributions addressed to strengthen the postgraduate programs. The narrated experience here, can guide individuals or members of higher education institutions who are interested on similar initiatives to fulfill the needs of postgraduate students. As a contribution to this purpose, learning challenges and a conclusion with recommendations is included. We highlight the imperious need for the universities to assume this commitment, and, to address the postgraduate students needs by offering them specialized activities and as a result of our experience we offer our reflection of the process and recommendations.
