University of Monterrey
The University of Monterrey (Spanish: Universidad de Monterrey, acronym "UDEM") is a private, Catholic, secondary, and higher education institution in city-municipality San Pedro Garza García, Greater Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
UDEM was founded by the Daughters of the Immaculate Mary of Guadalupe, the nuns of the Sacred Heart, the Marist Brothers, and the La Salle Brothers, and was supported by an association of Catholic citizens. The university originated from a recommendation given by the Second Vatican Council to use educational activities in favor of teaching the principles of the Catholic doctrine.
The Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus had worked in Monterrey since 1908, and the Sisters of Immaculate Mary of Guadalupe established Labastida Unity in 1951. They had been running Labastida College, an all-girls school, since 1919. Brothers had been working in Monterrey since 1905, teachers who had left Monterrey during the Revolutionary War, returned in 1942, to establish the Instituto Regiomontano.
On July 8, 1969, the university was recognized by the state of Nuevo Leon, and on September 8 of the same year, it began operating as an educational institution housed in five different facilities.
Philanthropist Roberto Garza Sada started searching for educators and land, bought the campus property, and gave money to start building the university. Later, in honoring her father, Margarita Garza Sada (Daughter of Roberto Garza Sada) and Japanese Architect Tadao Ando gave the money to build the Centro Roberto Garza Sada for Architecture and Design.
By 1972, UDEM had 22 majors and 3 baccalaureate degree programs. That same year, 7 more academic divisions were created, amongst which were the Arts and Media Sciences, Education, Economics, Law, Mathematics, Health Studies and Social Studies. In 1979, Mexican philanthropist Roberto Garza Sada formed the Association for Educational Development, which sole purpose was to buy 35 acres of land on which they would build the actual campus for UDEM.
In 1982, activities at the Humberto Lobo UDEM high school began. On August 21, 1998, the college community center was inaugurated in the presence of then-Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo. In January 2004, the Rector's building was constructed, which houses the dean's offices, the Center for Information and Student Attention (Centro de Información y Atención a Alumnos; CIAA), among other facilities. In July 2006, the new student dormitories were inaugurated. In 2009, after 16 years of being the dean of UDEM, Francisco Ascúnaga Guerra resigned from his position and was succeeded by Antonio Dieck Assad, the current dean.
In 2002, UDEM signed 26 new bilateral agreements with universities in the United States – such as the University of California, Berkeley, and other universities in Spain, Italy, Belgium, England (such as University College, London), Germany, and France (such as the Lycée Bossuet-Notre Dame, in Paris).[citation needed]
