New programs

On May 27, 2026, the extension course "Environment, Corruption" got underway, an academic initiative that's part of a broader international research project looking at the impacts of socio-environmental corruption across Latin America and the Caribbean. The course is led by AUSJAL together with social centers tied to the Society of Jesus, with the goal of encouraging critical reflection, knowledge-sharing, and stronger community capacity to confront this issue.

The Intercampus Virtual AUSJAL model is based on Jesuit Telecollaboration in Latin America—meaning virtual collaboration grounded in the generosity and reciprocity of the member institutions within the association. It is built upon principles of inclusive, democratic, and community-based education, aiming to create a shared space co-created by AUSJAL universities. Its purpose is to promote access to Jesuit higher education, especially throughout Latin America, through interuniversity, international, and virtual educational initiatives.
