The president of the Tecnológico de Monterrey Education Group has chaired the annual meeting of Universitas 21, where university leaders analyzed the future of higher education.

David Garza, president of Tecnológico de Monterrey, began his role as chair of the global university network Universitas21 (U21), becoming the first Latin American academic to hold this position.
