Philanthropic Activities
In 1943, along with a number of other prominent businessmen, Garza Sada founded the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education on September 6, 1943, with the hope of creating an educative institution with strong principles and high academic standards. His belief was that an "institute of technology" was a better model than a university because an institute of technology would create a more capable and business-oriented workforce for his industries as well as for other local industries.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
