CONCEPT OF UNIVERSITY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TEACHERS.

This study presents the first results obtained from a research that was carried out with university professors of an undergraduate degree program (undergraduate) in a public university of the State of Puebla, Mexico, with the purpose of investigating what concept they have about University Social Responsibility (USR) and what practices identify that have been carried out with students to promote it. In order to achieve this objective, a theoretical framework was created that would allow to have some references to identify which can be considered good practices in USR. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with professors and several of them reported having promoted class projects linked to social needs; others talked about strategies implemented through the Mexican Social Service (mandatory), professional practices, volunteering, among others.
