Percepción de los dirigentes estudiantiles universitarios sobre la responsabilidad social Universitaria

Abstract

The article analyzes the meaning given by university students to the concept of university social responsibility, through research with a qualitative approach through a single and instrumental case study, considering the semi-structured interview and the focus group as information gathering techniques. It is concluded that the social responsibility of the university raises the challenge of refocusing the institutional mission, towards a formation process linked to the surrounding social reality, as well as through a more active social role of the university in face of the social needs and problems of the territory where the universities are installed.
