The present research aims to understand the social, identity and educational context of the University Campus of Abaetetuba of the Federal University of Pará. The objects of study of this work are the memories and identities of the professors trained by this Higher Education Institution, who returned to this same campus in the occupation of university professors, and the relationship of these aspects with the city/ municipality of Abaetetuba. In this way, our research is characterized by the qualitative approach and use of semi-structured interviews. In this sense, adheres to the methodology of Oral History allied to inductive and deductive methods. The research corpus consists of five professors egress from the University Campus of Abaetetuba: from Pedagogy, from Language Graduation Courses of Portuguese and Spanish, and two individuals linked to the coordination of this institution, who were interviewed between november 2023 and august 2024. In the present work, we use as theoretical foundation the concepts of Memories, Collective and Individual Memory according to Pollak (1989), Halbwachs (1990) and Le Goff (1994); identities in light of theorists such as Hall (2006, 2014) and Pollak (1992); and Cities, from the perspective of theorists such as Agier (2011), Harvey (2012) and Lefebvre (2013). Thus, we realize that this Educational Institution trains individuals academically and socially and during this process, these subjects learn new knowledge, change their mentalities, discover new skills and break taboos in society. However, there are still many difficulties for the advancement of science in the municipality. The campus needs more technological resources for classrooms, investments in student transportation, research grants and new projects development. In this way, academic education can achieve even better results in the municipality of Abaetetuba.
