Tec presents its DEIP 2024 Report

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On October 28, 2025, the Tecnologico de Monterrey Educational Group, comprising Tec de Monterrey, Tecmilenio, and TecSalud, presented its sixth annual 2024 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Report (DEIP in Spanish) in the Main Hall of the Rectory on the Monterrey campus. This report compiles the main institutional advances that promote human dignity within its community, specifically promoting respect for cultural, gender, socioeconomic, and sexual orientation diversity, as well as the inclusion of people with disabilities and neurodiversities.

Since 2018, this annual report has been prepared under the coordination and leadership of the team at the Center for the Recognition of Human Dignity (CRDH in Spanish), directed by Felisa González. “The transformations documented here are not the result of a single effort, but the result of the continuous and committed work of many people convinced that building fairer and more plural educational environments is not only possible, but necessary,” said Felisa González.

For her part, Jessica González de Cosio, Vice President of Inclusion, Integrity and Compliance, stressed that diversity and inclusion should not be understood as goals to be met, but as conscious practices and decisions that must be made daily. “This Report is not just a record of progress; it is also an invitation to continue building a more equitable community. Diversity and inclusion are not an end goal, but a daily practice that is reinforced by every decision, every voice, and within every open space that finds a place within Tec de Monterrey,” said Jessica González de Cosio.

On this occasion, a participant panel was present for the results of this report, with representatives from each initiative described in the DEIP 2024 Report. The panel included Mayra Isel Rodríguez, Leader of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging; Karla Urriola, Director of Equality, Inclusion, and Belonging at the Center for the Recognition of Human Dignity; Guillermina Sánchez, Regional Dean of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences and member of the Impulsa Committee; América Martínez, Professor at the Business School and member of the Advisory Committee for Persons with Disabilities; Jessica Jasso, Academic Director of Humanities and Spanish at Prepa Tec and member of the LGBTIQA+ Committee; Rosalinda Ballesteros, Director of the Institute of Purpose and Integral Well-being at Tecmilenio and member of the Advisory Committee on Socioeconomic Inclusion; Tommy Valdivieso, Regional Director of International Programs, Monterrey, and member of the Cultural Diversity Committee, and Hernando Velasco, Director of Leadership and Student Groups.

This report, stressed Mayra Isel Rodríguez, is the result of an effort by student groups, collectives, collaborators, teachers, and families that comprise the Educational Group. In short, it is a report born from the community.

Below are some of the most noteworthy actions recorded in the DEIP 2024 Report:

The photographic archive exhibition “When the thread becomes a network:” a living memory of women at Tecnologico de Monterrey, recognizing the lives and contributions of women who have marked the history of the Institution.
Guide for the didactic design of training units in the 2026 Curricula: strategy focused on promoting sustainability and humaneness in all careers.
Voices of Human Dignity Program: a space for meeting and learning that promotes reflection on equity and diversity through conferences and workshops.
More than 200 awareness-raising activities at Tecmilenio and TecSalud, generating an impact on 11 thousand people, where issues related to unconscious bias, ethics, and bioethics were addressed.

Each initiative embodied in the DEIP 2024 Report is a “testimony of the collective work that drives change. These are actions that respond to the specific realities of our campuses, regions, and diverse audiences, seeking not only to address gaps, but also to transform structures and weave fair relationships among those who comprise this institution,” says Jessica González de Cosio.

For his part, Juan Pablo Murra, Rector of Tecnologico de Monterrey, stressed during his message at the presentation event of the report that diversity, inclusion, and belonging are not an agenda parallel to the institutional mission, but a fundamental part of it, necessary to achieve its objectives.

“Tec de Monterrey aspires to excellence. However, this excellence must be understood not just as academic achievement or as technological innovation, but as an ability to build community and make an impact (…) Our purpose as a university is unfulfilled if we are unable to recognize the dignity of all the people who are part of this community,” Juan Pablo Murra added.

“Being the best university in the Spanish-speaking world is not about the rankings. It means being the most capable of listening, integrating, and transforming from plurality. It means building knowledge that is useful but also fair and humane,” the Rector pointed out.

Finally, it must be emphasized that El Observatorio (The Observatory) has consistently supported, defended, and promoted initiatives that place the individual at the center and encourage respect for diversity in all its forms. Congratulations to the entire team that made this report possible!
