Dr. Ricardo González, Director of the Ettling Center, is leading a group of 15 nominated student leaders to participate in a service mission trip to San Cristóbal, Guanajuato, Mexico

Under the leadership of the Ettling Center's Director, Dr. Ricardo González, a group of 15 nominated student leaders will participate in a service mission trip to San Cristóbal, Guanajuato, Mexico, from July 17 - 21, 2023. The service mission program includes leadership conversations with former President of Mexico Vicente Fox and his wife, Marta Fox, who both continue to spearhead several service initiatives to help their community through their Centro Fox, a strategic partner of the Lewis Center of the Americas. In March of 2022, President Fox visited the UIW campus in San Antonio at the invitation of the Lewis Center, to help us launch the UIW Leaders of the Americas speaker series, delivering a speech titled "Immigration: Challenges and Opportunities for Our Next Generation of Leaders". During his visit, UIW and Centro Fox entered into the agreement of collaboration that has paved the way for Mr. Fox’s support of  UIW programming such as this forthcoming study abroad program to Guanajuato.

This mission program does not complement a UIW course.
