UNIV国際大学生会議
福者パウロ６世や聖ヨハネ・パウロ２世をはじめ、近年の教皇ベネディクト16世と教皇フランシスコを含め、歴代教皇がUNIV参加者のために特別謁見を行ったり、演説の中で彼らに向けた言葉を残している：""You can be as leaven in the mass, those who are able to change even the great metropolises, the great cities, the great intellectual centers. You can bring a better future because within human realities everything is accomplished through the person, and it is the person who accomplishes it. Of course if the person is carried by the power of God, in the grace of God, if he walks with Him, he or she is then capable of changing the world. Let the final word of this UNIV be this wish: that you better this world.""（教皇聖ヨハネ・パウロ２世、UNIV 1982年）
