This past weekend EAFIT University celebrated its 50th anniversary (
http://www2.eafit.edu.co/50/index.php and
http://www.eafit.edu.co/alcampus
), and I got the chance to see a

the only thing different, is the
alternate logo.
This
flag can be seen also in a speech given by U.S. Under Secretary of State
James Steinberg, held at this University.
