Association of Universities Entrusted to the Society of Jesus in Latin America (AUSJAL) is a network of 30 universities and higher education institutions managed by the Society of Jesus in 14 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It operates as a “network of networks” withing a model of coordinated decentralization, which combines, on the one hand, decentralization of functions and leadership, with the necessary coordination of policies and activities, on the other hand.

The ASJUAL liaison is the interlocutor designated by the University Chancellor to act before the Presidency and Executive Secretariat of the AUSJAL, other member universities and within the respective universities. The main responsibility of the liaison is to support the Chancellor in the coordination and follow-up of activities deriving from the AUSJAL’s peer network, analysis-action groups, and ad hoc working groups in which the university participates, as well as to establish links regarding the association’s usual activities.

The Liaison’s responsibilities are divided into three main areas:

• Communication and Exchange of Information between the Governing Board, the Executive Secretariat and the university;
• Coordination between AUSJAL peers and the university;
• Promotion of AUSJAL activities among university community members.
