Portuguese term or phrase: Patrono das Turmas
This term appears several times on a CV, I'm not sure I can give any more context than that, given the information. Its written in Brazilian Portuguese.

Many thanks

Sponsor of the classes
Explanation:
Em uma formatura você tem o paraninfo, e o patrono. O paraninfo é um professor homenageado, que geralmente faz um discurso. O patrono faz um auxílio financeiro para a formatura, e pode até fazer um discurso. Patrono vem de patrocínio. Quando me formei, o patrono foi o Edson Lobão, que hoje é ministro de minas e energia. Ele doou uma quantia para a formatura. O paraninfo foi um professor muito querido.
