We celebrate with joy Sylvia Caiuby Novaes' 50 years as a professor at the University of São Paulo. Full professor at the Department of Anthropology, the longest serving professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences at the University of São Paulo, Sylvia is the founder of the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology (LISA-USP).

In a ceremony at LISA, on May 24th 2024, Sylvia received a surprise reception from her family, classmates from her class at Maria Antônia, where she entered in 1968, some friends from school at Colégio Dante Alighieri, many of her students (current and alumni, today professors at several universities in São Paulo and other states), as well as professors and employees at USP. The session opened with the presence of Dorothy Boom (Regina Muller), who celebrated Professor Sylvia with the joy she deserved.

We published a text in Jornal da USP [https://jornal.usp.br/artigos/sylvia-caiuby-novaes-50-anos-de-usp/] in which we highlight some moments of this life of dedication to the university, in all its aspects: teaching, research, extension, administration. Listening to her friends, daughters, colleagues and long-time mentors at this celebration also showed us that the bonds woven by Sylvia involve a multitude, and the paths she opened expand the horizons of this 90-year-old woman, USP.
