Tomorrow my classes start at Mondragón Universitatea, (or the University of Mondragón) in addition I will be doing an internship which will start sometime later in the year. Here is little background on the University. MU itself is only about ten years old, however it roots lie in the very first project that the founder of the Mondragón Coops, the priest Jose Maria Arizmendiarrieta, undertook. Today it is an integral part of the MCC and many graduates go directly into the coop workforce. Originally founded as a technical secondary school in the 1940´s, it would provide a basis for the coops in terms of forming young people with the necessary skills and same vision for transforming their community. In 1997, after years of evolution and the creation of a social science school and a business school, the University was formed by merging the three separate institutions. Its explicit goal is to link the academic world closely to the world of work, specifically in the coops. Most undergraduates are required to work in a coop at come point during their studies and in the program I will be in, contact with coops is frequent (plus hopefully the internship). It is a small institution and relatively intimate. As I get to know it better I will provide more info.
