SAN ANTONIO — The ribbon has been cut for the University of the Incarnate Word’s third Mexico campus, which is also expected to house the presidential library of Vicente Fox Quesada, who anchored Mexico’s executive branch from 2000 to 2006.
University officials said the campus – located in Leon in the state of Guanajuato – was inaugurated last week, in a ceremony attended by Fox, UIW leaders and others. The campus “will offer continuing education programs, executive education and senior leadership development initiatives for individuals, businesses and institutions throughout the region,” UIW said in a release.

The campus is expected to also offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs at some point in the future.
The location is taking over the site of Centro Fox, but UIW officials emphasized the campus’ mission would remain academic and not politically driven.
UIW also has Mexico locations in Mexico City and Bajio. Fox served as Mexico’s 62nd president, his 2000 electoral victory ending over seven decades of interrupted presidential leadership by the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
