The University of Celaya, in keeping with its commitment to train women and men with the highest educational quality to develop their capacity to build a better country, has signed the agreement "For equality and peace building" with the Municipal Institute of Women of Celaya (INSMUJERES) and 15 other educational institutions of Celaya to participate in the implementation of affirmative actions that promote, safeguard and respect the human rights of women and men, through a cross-cutting and inter-institutional work.
The signing of this agreement contemplates the generation of projects to achieve maximum development in the training and specialization of human resources, in order to achieve egalitarian spaces between women and men, safe and peaceful spaces, free of violence, and to provide women and men with tools for their full development.
Some of the topics on which the inter-institutional cross-cutting roundtables will work are:
Gender equality that favors and promotes social development for the people of Celaya.
Training for the full development of women and men, as well as public administration agencies.
The generation of violence-free spaces and the sensitization of the community in spaces for peace.
The signing of this agreement was held in the framework of International Women's Day and took place at the Casa del Diezmo in Celaya. Javier Mendoza Márquez, mayor of the city, as a witness of honor, the rectors and representatives of the universities signed the agreement: Colegio Arturo Rosenblueth, Instituto Educativo Rosa González de Carmona, Instituto de Estudios Superiores del Centro de México, Instituto Tecnológico Nacional de México en Celaya, Tecnológico de Roque, Universidad de Celaya, Universidad Continente Americano, Universidad de Guanajuato, Universidad de Centro del Bajío, Universidad Lasallista Benavente.
The Universidad Latina de México, Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Universidad Tecnológica Laja Bajío, UNITESBA, Universidad Virtual del Estado de Guanajuato and INAEBA also signed.
Thus, the University, through its research processes and links with society, is an agent of social transformation and behavioral changes of citizens from the perspective of theoretical studies and training actions that integrate the social actors involved in the subject.
Students of Communication and Audiovisual Media, Digital Design and Architecture from the University of Celaya will be making the film project "Cuando te toca" (When it's your turn) next July as part of the University Rally within the framework of the XXV anniversary of the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF). For the third consecutive year, Uni is part of the 6 teams participating in the GIFF Rally that were selected from more than 200 scripts nationwide; this is a competition whose main challenge is to film and edit a short film in just 48 hours on location in the city of San Miguel de Allende. The GIFF Training program allows students to train for six months through workshops with film industry professionals in San Miguel de Allende and CDMX.The "Cuando te toca" team is already working on the making of the models of their short film, which implies a considerable investment and that is why they have launched a funding campaign on the Kickstarter platform that manages an "all or nothing" system; that is, if the students do not reach the goal of 70 thousand Mexican pesos that they have set for April 18, then they will not get any funding. That is why they invite the entire educational community of the University of Celaya, which they will proudly represent, to join their campaign and become sponsors of this great dream; by being part of it, they will be able to obtain rewards allusive to the project. If you want to support this group of university talents, here are the steps to follow:
Review all rewards and select a level; if you do not want rewards, you can click on "Contribute without reward" and indicate the amount you wish to support.
Click "continue"; if you do not have a Kickstarter account, the platform will ask you to create one.
Fill in the information requested to make the payment (it is a very secure platform, so you don't have to worry).
Click on contribute and that's it, you have become a sponsor of "When it's your turn".
It is important to mention that the platform withdraws the sponsorship from the bank account until after the end of the campaign (April 18), so you must keep the sponsorship money intact, as many times the accounts do not pass and the money received by the team is reduced. Visit the profiles of "Cuando te toca" at Facebook E Instagram to learn more about this project and the ways in which you can support new Mexican filmmakers. At the University of Celaya we seek that our students have platforms to learn, develop skills and strengthen their competitive spirit; GIFF is one of those platforms where since 2012 several generations have had the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience of international stature in the field of film production and, specifically in University Rally, very important achievements have been obtained, such as: the audience award for "Sequía" (2020) and first place in the competition with "Muerte en Guanajuato" (2021); we wish that this 2022 "Cuando te toca" successfully reaches the finish line.
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation Mexico, Polilat, INE, USEM and CEPOS present the results of the Mexico Democratic Development Index 2021 (IDD-Mex 2021).
Guanajuato is one of the entities that lost the most value with respect to 2020, going from 5,031 points to 2,814; that is, a decrease of more than 2,000 points.
It is ranked 25th in the national ranking.
It obtained the worst score in its series in the IDD-Mex, as a result of declines in all dimensions.
Only in the Economic Democracy Dimension does it exceed the national average.
Celaya, Gto. (Thursday, March 10, 2022) - The Democratic Development Index of Mexico (IDD-Mex) is an index created to analyze strengths and weaknesses in the development of Mexican democracy, which allows political, social and economic leaders to have useful diagnostic elements to design specific policies that help achieve greater development in the country's states.
To disseminate the 11th edition of the IDD-Mex, the "Democracy Tour: Challenges and Evaluations of Democracy in Mexico" was held at the University of Celaya to present the results that the state of Guanajuato obtained in 2021 in the four dimensions of the IDD-Mex: Democracy of citizens, Democracy of institutions, Social Democracy and Economic Democracy.
The presentation of the IDD-Mex publication had a hybrid format so that the remote audience had the opportunity to follow the live broadcast from the Facebook page of both the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (https://fb.watch/bHcvvUboF2/), as well as the University of Celaya (https://fb.watch/bHcpof_jgm/).
The IDD-Mex report, prepared with official data from the states and with the perception that citizens have of the climate of rights and freedoms that characterize democracy in their communities, cannot but reflect the impact that this "partial halt to life" has on the system of social, political and economic relations in democracy; as well as on the climate of rights and freedoms of individuals and families; on the functioning of institutions that provide basic services for social and labor dynamics; on the investment climate; on the productive system, among others.
In the case of Guanajuato, as a consequence of the setback, it changes its development rating from medium to minimum, dropping more than 2,000 points in its overall rating.
After four years of decline, it reaches its worst record in terms of Citizens' Democracy and although it has never deserved extreme negative evaluations, the trend of the curve and the latest results set off an alarm signal, which should provoke a reaction on the part of the state leadership to elaborate and implement better strategies for building citizenship and respect for rights and freedoms.Democracy of Institutions suffers a strong setback, qualifying with minimum development, while social democracy remains at low development levels and economic democracy shows a rebound, qualifying with medium development this year.
This report is a wake-up call for the country's political, social and economic elites, since many of the opportunities for improvement identified here in each state can constitute a roadmap, not only for recovery, but also for initiating a sustained path of development for each community.
The IDD-Mex 2021 highlights Mexico's contrasts from an academic perspective, but it is also an appropriate instrument for political analysis, showing strengths and weaknesses, constituting an adequate tool for political, social and economic leaders to use as an objective diagnosis, as well as to outline and implement policies that allow for progress in human development and social and economic equity.

Universidad de Celaya aims to be a learning community that distinguishes itself for its academic quality and for providing its students with an exceptional educational experience that inspires them to positively transform the world.
That is why one of the commitments of our Institution is the continuous improvement of its study programs through strategic and periodic updating, as well as certifications through external national and international organizations.
In February of this year, the Industrial Engineering and Management program received the reaccreditation of the Higher Education Programs Register as a testimony of the satisfactory fulfillment of the academic requirements established by the Interinstitutional Committees for the Evaluation of Higher Education (CIEES), thus ensuring a first class educational service for students.
This academic program has been in force for more than 30 years offering quality education to train engineers who contribute professionally to the technological development of our country and its main competitive advantages are:
The early internship program to experience labor market insertion prior to graduation.
The linkage with high-impact national and international companies for the development of projects.
Specialty in plastic injection molding.
Preparation to present the international certification of Yellow Belt Six Sigma by the ASQ.
Active participation of its students in international calls for short and extended stays abroad.
Industrial Engineering graduates from the University of Celaya have positioned themselves in organizations with the implementation of quality management systems, application of lean manufacturing projects and six sigma methodology ; or they have excelledas entrepreneurs of their own business and/or company.
The CIEES collaborate strategically with Higher Education Institutions in the search for Excellence, guaranteeing their prestige through the evaluation of the basic aspects that every HEI must comply with and others related to the institutional project, research, innovation, internationalization, linkage and cultural extension.
This significant achievement is the result of the qualified work of the directors and members of the academic staff who, day after day, put their dedication at the service of the formation of the future leaders of our community.
The Federation of Private Mexican Institutions of Higher Education awarded the Level I (Transparency) distinction for academic integrity to Universidad de Celaya for the institution's efforts in implementing a culture of integrity at all levels of the organization.
This first phase award was achieved thanks to the results of the anonymous diagnosis of at least 30% of the undergraduate students where the level of commitment of the HEIs to the promotion of academic integrity is determined.
Thank you very much and congratulations to the entire university community, we will continue working in the following phases with the confidence and commitment that this is the result of what is lived in the institution daily through the contribution of each of the members, teachers and students.
