The Extension and Community Services Head Office (DESCO) has several challenges to face, being the head entity in extension policy. Nowadays, its line of work emphasizes the discussion of inserting extension in the curriculum and accrediting it in the study plan.
The project “Homes of the University” is the most important purpose in DESCO’s operative plan and it is related to the social mission of our Alma Mater: the moral obligation of attending to the educational needs of the region. In DESCO’s new stage, professors and students will be the ones to have a fundamental tool in the “Homes of the University” to come closer to the community and carry out social work.
