Arts

The Arts Appreciation Chair and the Arts Workshop are the artistic education cornerstone at San Andrés. The Chair is born together with the university in 1989 and the Arts Workshop is set up two years later. Over 1,200 students had a real approach to the arts world. They visited museums, theatres, rehearsals, and they became acquainted with ideas, plays and workshops of famous Argentine artists such as Juan Carlos Distéfano, Aurelio Macchi, Alejandro Puente, Jorge Demirjian, Luis Well, Nicolás García Uriburu, M. Juana Heras Velasco, among others. They were visited by musicians such as Luis María Serra or Mario Videla, instrumental and vocal groups, cinema, theater or dance world celebrities. All students have the experience of being creative actors. That rich and live exchange is the base of our strategic art of teaching.
The Arts Workshop enables students to develop their creativity in plastic arts so as to be able to apply it from there to any other spheres. The workshop is aimed at analyzing things from another standpoint. In 2005 and for the first time, the Arts Appreciation Chair organized the ¨Nelly Arrieta de Blaquier Sculpture Award ¨ aimed at choosing the best project so as to set it on the terrace in front of Max von Buch Library. San Andrés offers a unique artistic proposal that contributes to our students´ comprehensive education.

----

The Roy Taylor Computer Laboratory (IT)

Our IT area has been specially designed to be a complement of the academic activity and to collaborate with the research done by students and teachers. Since the very first day of classes, students at Universidad de San Andrés are assisted by members of the area so that they have a quick access to those resources they will have available throughout their years of study.

----

Students in action

At San Andrés, students count with the Student Association (CEUdeSA)as the first instrument through which they can make collective decisions and gain experience in institutional management.
The Association is a dialogue channel between students and university authorities. Its commissions are annually elected by the student community, what implies an electoral responsibility for its members. The following are some of the activities the Association carries out:
• Publication of the magazine
• Language courses
• Conferences and Discussion Forums
• Paper Recycling Project
• Lunch organization with students and university authorities or teachers.
• Sport and Musical Events
• Community Service Activities

----

Athletics

Students at San Andrés are provided with space and support for their sport interests. At the University we believe that sports do not only provide physical benefits but also contribute to social development, spreading and to values preservation. Over the last years, the Association of university Amateur Sports (ADAU, according to its Spanish acronym) gave our University teachers and students awards for the best fair play on sports fields and for the best volleyball, hockey and swimming coachers. At our Sports Office we carry out a series of activities that include:
• Swimming, volleyball, hockey and football classes and practices
• University tournaments
• Promotion of student’s involvement in universities´ tournaments organized by the ADAU
• Sport visits to neighboring countries universities.
• An invitation tournament at San Andrés for university students in Greater Buenos Ares.
• Awards for students, for their perseverance and their progress, as well as their commitment and their leadership.

----

Compromiso Joven

It is community service projects created and lead by San Andres’s students. It is aimed at fostering social responsibility initiatives between students and the rest of the university community.
Its main programs are:
• Community Center Self-management. San Andres’s students temporally incorporate themselves to the community center staff of the university’s area of influence with the aim of fostering mutual learning and, at the same time, improving the administration and service offered by these centers to low–resource people.
• Internships at NGOs: During the university winter recess, student interdisciplinary groups try to solve a concrete problem at a third sector organization counting with San Andres’ teachers´ and graduates´ advice
• 2004 Nation’s Presidential Award. In 2004, Young Commitment participated in the ¨Support Educational Practices in Higher Education¨ Presidential Award. The Education, Science and Technology Minister handed out a Special Award in recognition of the quality of the practice and to contribute with its development, what implies a paramount acknowledgement both for Young Commitment and for the university.
