Universidad iberoamericana puebla
The Ibero-American University Puebla (in Spanish: Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla, abbreviated UIA but commonly known as Ibero) is a Mexican private institution of higher education sponsored by the Society of Jesus. A spin-off from the main campus located in Mexico city, the Puebla campus was built after the need of a Jesuit institution in Puebla State. The university has grown to become an important university for the students in the Southern region of Mexico. It has become one of the most important and biggest university in the Ibero-American University system, only after the flagship campus. It currently offers a high school program, as well as several undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

The Ibero has sport facilities to be used by its students. The university takes parts in various competitions in some of Mexico's most popular college sports. The mascot of the campus is the wild goose. The legend says that a cloudy afternoon a flock of geese passed while migrating south. One of them, flying wounded, landed to rest in the lake of the Ibero Puebla accompanied by two of his companions. It was then that a Jesuit priest fond of birds observed this behavior and decided to find out more about these animals, finding that they are intelligent animals and working as a team.
