ÃÛÖTV Inaugurates New Location in León, Mexico

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox
San Antonio – July 13, 2026 – The ÃÛÖTV (ÃÛÖTV) is proud to announce that it has officially inaugurated ÃÛÖTV León, its latest location in Mexico. Located in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, the new site will serve as an academic initiative to serve the greater León Metropolitan area. It will also be home to the Presidential Library of former Mexican President Vicente Fox.
The inauguration, which took place on July 7, 2026, was attended by over 200 guests including ÃÛÖTV President, Thomas M. Evans, PhD, and former President Fox. Also in attendance were all three presidents from the newly formed CHARISM, an alliance of Catholic universities with distinct but shared values that includes ÃÛÖTV and universities in New York City, Chicago and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The new León site will offer continuing education programs, executive education, and senior leadership development initiatives for individuals, businesses, and institutions throughout the region. It will also serve as a center for international exchange, innovation, industry partnerships, camps, professional and spiritual retreats, and the development of academic projects with a global perspective. Subject to the University's institutional approval processes and the corresponding regulatory authorizations, ÃÛÖTV also plans to expand its academic offerings in the future to include undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
“With the opening of our newest site in León, we usher in a new era for the ÃÛÖTV,” said Evans. “It will play a very important role in our growing system and represents a new extension of Mission. Through it, we welcome a new community in which we will share our values of education, truth, faith, service and innovation.”
Through a 100-year loan-for-use agreement, the new ÃÛÖTV León will operate from the facilities formerly occupied by Centro Fox, carrying out its educational mission from this location. Accordingly, the ÃÛÖTV wishes to clarify that this initiative is exclusively academic, educational, and formative in nature. Consistent with its identity as a private, Catholic, nonprofit university, ÃÛÖTV does not participate in or engage in partisan political projects, initiatives, or activities.
ÃÛÖTV León is the third ÃÛÖTV site in Mexico. ÃÛÖTV already has long-standing campuses in Mexico City and Bajio.
