This paper develops the idea of the university as a community and analyzes its role in shaping the person. The university is considered a community because it derives its purposes from the human community in which it emerges and collaborates. As such, it continues cultural traditions, because it is a creation of the spirit, therefore, places the persona at its core. The argument underpinning this idea posits that what distinguishes this community from other training institutions is the space and support it provides to young people in resolving the natural conflict between their individuality and social dimension, which is more intense and definitive during this life stage. The article contends that the university professor contributes to the student’s life project not so much by offering a “type” to imitate, but by helping cultivate, strengthen, and put to use the qualities the student has discovered and developed up to that point in service to the community.
