UDEM was a small school founded by the Daughters of the Immaculate Mary of Guadalupe, the nuns of the Sacred Heart, the Marist Brothers and the La Salle members, supported by an association of Catholic citizens. The idea 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 founding religious groups already had a deep history in Monterrey. The Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus had been working in Monterrey since 1908, and the Sisters of Immaculate Mary of Guadalupe founded Labastida University in 1951, and had been running Labastida College since 1919, an institution devoted to the education of girls and young ladies. On the other hand, the Marist Brothers had been working in Monterrey since 1905, and La Salle Brothers, who had left Mexico during the Revolution war, returned in 1942 to Monterrey to found the Instituto Regiomontano.

On July 8, 1969, the university was recognized as such by the state of Nuevo Leon and on September 8 of the same year, it began operating as an educational institution housed in 5 different facilities owned by the very same groups and associations that funded it, such as Labastida school.

Until one day a philanthropist named Roberto Garza Sada who studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology searching to elevate education in Nuevo Leon Mexico started searching for some educators and at the same time for a piece of land bought the campus property and gave the money to start building this university on which later his daughter Margarita Garza Sada, looking to honor her father, and with Japanese Architect Tadao Ando, gave the money to build the Centro Roberto Garza Sada for Architecture and Design.

Currently, UDEM educates over 16 thousand students, including high school students, undergraduates and postgraduates. The school offers 4 high school modes, 46 majors, 13 bachelor degrees and 37 medical specialties and doctorates. UDEM offers a number of choices to study abroad; UDEM has established bilateral, reciprocal and unilateral agreements, as well as arrangements through academic exchange agencies. 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).

History

Inauguration of the Rector's Building.

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.[3] In 1979, a Mexican philanthropist named Roberto Garza Sada formed the Association for Educational Development, which sole purpose was to buy 35 acres of land in which they would build the actual campus for UDEM.

drafts of the Gate of Creation

In 1982, activities in the Humberto Lobo UDEM high school begin and on August 21, 1998 the college community center is inaugurated in the presence of the then Mexican president Ernesto Zedillo. In January 2004, the Rector's building was constructed which houses dean's offices, the Center for Information and Student Attention (Centro de Información y Atención a Alumnos; CIAA), amongst other things. In July 2006, the new student dorms were inaugurated. In 2009, after 16 years of being the dean of UDEM, Francisco Ascúnaga Guerra resigned from his position and was succeeded Antonio Dieck Assad, who is the current dean. Currently, the building, named Centro Roberto Garza Sada in honor of the benefactor which bought the terrain where the school now stands, was designed by the famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando who originally called it "The Gate of Creation". The building's over 43 thousand ft² and was planned from its conception as a design, arts and architecture building. It will have several areas dedicated to these studies, as well as 22 laboratories and workshops to accommodate students expositions and art exhibits.[4]

In 1982, the Vice-Rectory for Upper Middle Education was created and the activities of the Humberto Lobo High School began. On August 21, 1998, the building called the University Community Center (CCU) was inaugurated in a ceremony with the President Ernesto Zedillo. In January 2004 the Rectory building was inaugurated, where the offices of the Center for Information and Attention to Students (CIAA) are housed, as well as the continuing education rooms, among other things.

In 2009, after 16 years as rector, on August 3, 2009, Dr. Francisco Azcúnaga Guerra presented his resignation, since then Dr. Antonio Dieck Assad has held the post of rector of the UDEM.

50th anniversary UDEM

In 2019 we lived a year like no other in the history of UDEM. Commitment to excellence is a goal that we must always pursue. We value our past and foundation; through dialogue we build new ideas, the most innovative thoughts allowed us to renew our campus; and we recognized that our most sensitive side is also our main strength7. In January 2019, Mario Páez González joined as the new rector of UDEM, guiding the institution towards agile transformation and a new vision until 2030.[5]

Seal

Originally created by Ignacio Villareal Junco, UDEM's seal consists of three books meant to symbolize the letters "U" and "M" in Universidad de Monterrey. The university colors are yellow and black and are usually added to the seal image. According to its creator, the color yellow signifies the light of knowledge, sensibility and intuition.

In 2002, two circles which contained the Latin phrase Homo Hominis In Servitio Perficitur when translated means "Man is perfected in the service of man". Finally, laurels were added to the image which symbolize triumph and success.

In 2014, UDEM evolved its graphic identity. In the highest point has the university name: "Universidad de Monterrey", the circles contain the Latin phrase that currently serves as the University's motto. This phrase Homo Hominis In Ministerio Perficitur when translated means "Man is perfected in the service of man" and the mirrored laurels.[6]

2020 Campaign

In December 2019, the University of Monterrey launched the campaign "UDEM Inspiring your best version". With the conviction that "there are things that are not learned at the University, but they are learned at UDEM", as the campaign theme invokes, with the aim of raising the profile of its graduates through comprehensive training, institution seeks to promote and sow in the young values of service, integrity, innovation and leadership.[7]

Campus

UDEM has only one university campus located in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. But also has four preparatory locations (translated as units from the Spanish word for Unidades). Said locations are San Pedro Campus(USP) located in the boundaries of the university campus,[8][9] Valle Alto Campus (UVA) located in the Estanzuela, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico,[10][11] Fundadores Campus (UFU) located in Escobedo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico[12][13] and the Obispado Campus (UNO) located in the Monterrey area.[14][15] In addition classes of the Nursing Degrees on Campus CHRISTUS Health Muguerza Conchita Hospital are offered.[16]

Some of the businesses that have a presence on the main UDEM campus are:

Rector's Building and CIAA

CIAA and Rector's building.

On September 2001, after 10 years of planning, construction began on the Rector's building, which is over 27,000 ft2. The building also houses the CIAA or Center for Information and Student Attention as translated to English. On 2003 it was inaugurated. Local Architect Bernardo Hinojosa[20] oversaw the project.

The building also houses the vice-rectory for high school education, college education, development and administrative departments. A red and black sculpture called La Serpentina adorns the main plaza of the building, it was created by Fernando González Gortázar,[21] an artist from Guadalajara. The red color symbolizes the warmth of human beings and as the flame within all of us to succeed.

CCU

CCU

Inaugurated in 1999 by former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, CCU stands for Centro de la Comunidad Universitaria and translates to Community College Center. The CCU is a recreational area for students which also houses the Culture department (in charge of all artistic events within the University or by the University's alumni), Pastoral Care department, the student council headquarters, a small chapel, the cafeteria, the music rooms, an auditorium, a common room and the film club.

A yellow statue entitled "The Man" adorns the main lobby. It was made by Oaxaca-born artist Rufino Arellanes Tamayo, who has also contributed to UDEM with countless other works and serves as a symbol for the institution. In his words, The Man represents the origin, middle and end of culture.

There is also a half-moon sculpture, adorned with closed fists, called The Tree of The Community created by Jorge Elizondo. It is also found on the CCU's main lobby and serves as a reminder of all the people and groups that believed in the concept of a school such as UDEM. Each hand has a name plate at its base.

The bell

"Vox Veritatis".

When a student graduates, one of the most symbolic processes before fully graduating is to sound the bell. Its name is Vox Veritas which means "The Voice of Truth" and must be tolled three times total when a student has finished the requirements for his/her degree.

Each toll means a commitment the student makes to always uphold the truth, fight for justice and remain honest throughout his or her life. If a student graduates Magna cum laude or Summa cum laude, the amount of tolls raises to four or five. It is one of the school's oldest traditions.

Library

In 1987 the library system of UDEM was consolidated and still operates today from the main/central library located at UDEM's campus and three other department libraries found in UDEM's preparatories. UDEM's library counts with up to 44 direct collective bargaining with local and national institutions, a total of 222,524 volumes of books, videos and E-book, a collection of 408,589 well known and globally recognized academic journals (in both press and on-line), a data base of 23,234 archived documents from institutions such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Wilson, Infolatina, Britannica, Ocenet, Gale and Routledge.[22]

Among the library's most important collections, you can find:

  • Colección Xavier Moyssén about which deals with Mexican Art History and is restricted to authorized personnel.
  • INEGI's Library

Student dorms

UDEM's Dorms being inaugurated by the school's officials.

In Mexico, it is uncommon for college students to leave their homes and start living by themselves. Fraternities and sororities are rarely heard of. However, schools like UDEM receive a vast amount of foreign exchange students and, even when it is uncommon, people will eventually leave their homes and begin living independently.

For these reasons, UDEM started a student housing project called Residencias UDEM meaning UDEM Residence Halls. They were inaugurated in 2006 after 13 months of being planned and occupied over 14 acres within the grounds of the UDEM's campus. The project was overseen by authorities from Harvard university, Yale, Loyola and the University of the Americas (UDLA), as well as benefactors like Jane Wright from the Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas firm. The dorms house up to 450 students.[23]

Centro Roberto Garza Sada (CRGS)

The Roberto Garza Sada Center (CRGS), named in honor of Don Roberto Garza Sada, was designed by Tadao Andō, one of the most recognized architects in the world and awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1995. The final investment of the work is around 45 million dollars, 21 being the main benefactor Doña Márgara Garza Sada de Fernández, daughter of Roberto Garza Sada. CRGS The architectural work, baptized by its author as the "Gate of Creation", was officially inaugurated on April 29, 2013 in the presence of the Japanese architect, Doña Márgara Garza Sada de Fernández, the Governor in charge, Rodrigo Medina de la Cruz, the former municipal president of San Pedro Garza García, Mauricio Fernández Garza, among other business, political and academic personalities.

The idea of this work is to inspire through the aesthetics of the building. The author wanted to respond to the challenge of the mountain in the background, somehow inspires students to cross the door and transcend. He transmits through art the education that Don Roberto Garza Sada, benefactor of the UDEM, had.

This building has 1,300 cubic meters of concrete whose gray color is in harmony with the tones of the Huasteca and has 13,115.48 square meters of construction, distributed in spaces for design, research, teaching and exhibition, as well as 22 laboratories and workshops which design students can use. Currently, it has the LEED Certification in its “Silver” level, granted by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), with which it became the first work of Tadao Ando to receive a global sustainability certification.[24]

ESTOA

The building, inaugurated in May 2019 by the Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao, is a space with which the UDEM seeks to enrich student life, improve the experience of its community and contribute to the generation of public spaces and family coexistence in the area.

ESTOA

It has a privileged location to the west of the campus that, connected to El Solar and, next to the Roberto Garza Sada Center for Art, Architecture and Design, serves as the new main entrance to the University. This building fulfills the functions of a public square as a platform for inclusive social life abroad and also functions as a prelude to the university. The construction meets the same needs of the agoras, where knowledge was imparted in ancient Greece; As a public space it was an ideal place for social life in Mediterranean cities; sometimes it also fulfilled commercial, philosophical and pedagogical functions. This derives from the name of stoicism, since in it the philosopher Zenón de Citio imparted his teachings to his disciples in Athens.

The building located to the west of the campus has approximately 90 thousand square meters of construction, which accommodates student and coexistence areas and UDEM offices for customer service, in addition to Continuing Education rooms.[25]

With this space, the University of Monterrey has continued the transformation of its campus as a sustainable infrastructure through the recovery of wooded areas where there were previously parking lots. The UDEM campus has a project that integrates vegetation from the region, design of pedestrian roads according to different needs and a gorge that includes a water mirror and a hermitage for reflection.[26]
