Argentina’s new president, Alberto Fernandez, returned to his duties as law professor, monitoring students as they took their final exams.

Sworn into office on Tuesday, Fernandez re-joined his former students at the University of Buenos Aires, where he taught law. Photographs shared on social media and news outlets show the Argentinian leader sitting at the front of a classroom as students take their exams.

“He’s no longer a candidate for president, he is the president of the nation. It’s historical. This will never happen to me again in my life,” one of his students told Reuters.

A group photo was taken after all the exams were handed in.
