UCP distinguished by the International Federation of Catholic Universities in the area of Social Responsibility

In the 1st edition of The Newman Benchmark Framework on Social Responsibility, of the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU), UCP was distinguished with 4 labels, among which it received 2 labels with the maximum rating (3 stars) in the areas of governance and social practices.

This tool assesses, transversely, the universities' forms of governance, their approaches to ensuring respect for the environment, their practices as employers, how the three mission axes are implemented, and the overall coherence of their identities as Catholic Universities.

The dimension of University Social Responsibility has been structured, nationally, through a process of mapping and identification of the various initiatives and projects that are developed on the 4 campi, representing a healthy diversity at UCP.
