ITESO is the Jesuit University of Guadalajara, in Mexico. It
was founded over 60 years ago by a group of Jesuits, families and local
business leaders who sought a different kind of university that would combine
rigorous professional training with an education that would inspire men and
women with a profound sense of social responsibility and justice. ITESO´s programs are imbued with the educational
philosophy of Jesuit institutions, recognized worldwide for training
well-rounded leaders in the fields of the arts and sciences. With approximately
11000 students and 42700 graduates, ITESO offers a robust combination of
professional advancement and knowledge production in the sciences. It houses
state of the art programs in engineering, humanities and the social sciences.
As part of its mission, ITESO is called to offer
solutions and alternatives for and with society.
The university community adad — made
up of students, graduates, academics, researchers and other collaborators — has
focused its efforts and its theoretical, methodological, and technical
knowledge on creating solutions that address the challenges brought on by the
pandemic, in the form of proposals for social and technological innovation, as
well as programs and initiatives for counseling, dissemination and support for
the most vulnerable sectors. This is evidenced by over 90 projects of applied
research and 60 conferences, round tables, forums, and discussions about Sustainability
and Technology, Identities, Social Inclusion and Health, The Solidarity Economy
and Decent Employment and Justice and Democracy.
PAPs
Professional Application Projects (PAPs) are unique to
the university and form an essential part of students’ integral education in
all of ITESO’s undergraduate and engineering programs. Most PAPs are developed
in off-campus scenarios and seek to respond to the most immediate needs of
society at both the local and national levels, as well as to change the
approaches of other projects to adapt them to the needs of the current context.
They are developed with a logic of nodes that bring
together several initiatives according to the thematic areas of confluence,
with the purpose to provide a powerful response to achieve the desired impact
in the current situation, embracing complexity and steering clear of atomized
efforts. PAPs are grouped into four macro-problems: Fair Alternatives to the Market
and Material Redistribution; Health, Dignity, and Care for People; State Capture
and the Construction of the Public Interest; and Environmental Degradation.
Collaboration and multidisciplinary approach: the key
Collaboration with civil organizations, research
centers, government agencies, companies, and other educational institutions has
always been a pillar of ITESO’s projects, even more so during the health emergency.
Rather than individual efforts, ITESO's proposal has focused on working jointly
to find solutions that contribute to the common good and prioritize the welfare
of the most vulnerable sectors, with multidisciplinary, scientific, and
academic collaboration serving as the means to overcome the difficulties caused
by the pandemic.
COVID -19 INFORMATION
New ways for a new day-to-day
Over the course of this year, besides preparing for
the return to campus, adjustments were made to various activities of university
life so that they could continue within the constraints of the new realities brought
on by the pandemic:
Admission Test
An online test was designed that could be replicated
in other institutions of the Jesuit University System in Mexico. The university
also conducted in-person exams.
Graduation Ceremonies
The first experience with the campus sanitation
filters occurred during graduation ceremonies at the end of 2020. Sanitation
protocols were put into place, and different stations were installed throughout
the campus so that recent graduates could enjoy their academic ceremony
accompanied, via livestreams, by their families.
Library Loans
Nearly one thousand people from the community,
including students, alumni, and staff, have received books and audiovisual
material at their homes. A total of 5,400 books (4,833 different titles) have
been loaned during this period.
Equipment and material for classes
There are laboratories and workshops that prepare
materials for learning activities that students need to do at home; these
materials include video recording equipment, airbrushes, electronic cards, and
even special floorboards with a barre for dance classes.
