The Student Welfare program is made up of an interdisciplinary team that works to build an ideal environment for the development of the educational proposal of the University. It is committed to the formation of values through the generation of participative processes and living together experiences, the social projection of the University and the integration between different areas of the University and its environment.

   

Icesi students are offered an array of programs and activities oriented to physical, psycho-emotional, spiritual, social and holistic development. These programs include recreational sports and competitive events among local, regional and national universities in addition to workshops in art, music, corporal expression, narrative description, imagery and painting.

  

Icesi students are encouraged to join sports teams, rock bands, choral groups, dance, and theater classes. The University continuously presents art exhibits, theatrical works, dance presentations, story telling, cinema and all types of artistic and cultural expression which contribute to human development of the student body.
