Leadership

At CESA, leadership is a mandate. The CESA leader is defined by a commitment to excellence, empathy, collaboration, curiosity, and a strategic yet optimistic vision. Such leaders are capable of inspiring others, capturing attention, and making deliberate, conscious decisions in complex and digitally-driven environments. In this way, they are acknowledged as agents and promoters of cultural transformation, equipped to guide teams and influence the world through their ideas, actions, and interpersonal connections.

Entrepreneurship

CESA conceives entrepreneurship as a process of value generation, oriented toward providing innovative, high-impact solutions that contribute to transforming societal realities. A CESA entrepreneur develops the necessary skills and competencies to cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and establish new ventures. Hence, the CESA entrepreneur is marked by ongoing curiosity, lifelong learning, and a global, disruptive mindset.

Innovation

It is a systemic and comprehensive process that, at CESA, is practiced across four dimensions: institutional, teaching, research, and outreach. In each of these areas, its goal is to identify new approaches that support sustainable and entrepreneurial growth in the country.

Sustainability

Sustainability at CESA is an ongoing, collaborative effort focused on value creation through responsible resource management, environmental stewardship, social well-being, and economic development, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Education for Sustainable Development reflects CESA’s institutional commitment to embedding sustainability across all areas of academic and operational practice.

Internationalization

Globalization and global economic interdependence are a reality. That’s why CESA promotes experiential learning and immersion in diverse social and multicultural settings through its curriculum, internationalization at home, student and faculty mobility, double-degree programs, and short-term international experiences, among other globally oriented initiatives.
