Community Outreach

USFQ is an institution that, in addition to its fundamental mission of transmitting knowledge and research, recognizes the importance of responding to the needs of society. For this reason, for USFQ, the connection with society has been part of the teaching and research activities that have been carried out since the origin of the institution, with the purpose of promoting local and regional development within the framework of Liberal Arts and professional ethics. Thus, outreach is any management or action carried out by the University to transfer academic, scientific, and artistic knowledge to society and generate an impact on the development of the country.

The Social Outreach Department is a support area for the planning, design and execution of social outreach projects and services at USFQ.
