Introduction: the way in which we communicate is very important for the accomplishment or malfunction of companies or organizations. The Student University Federation in the center implements innovative procedures to correct the inaccuracy in the communicative process. Objective: to prepare a booklet to give information to Pinar del Rio University of Medical Sciences about the main processes and activities that the Student University Federation develops every month. Method: a technological development research was carried out during the month of September 2017 at Pinar del Río University of Medical Sciences. The target group was constituted by all the students of the university and a sample of 30 was chosen. A questionnaire was applied where the essential characteristics for the implementation of this product were identified. Results: lack of knowledge of the history of the organization was detected (86,7 %), poor or few information of the processes to be developed by the University Student Federation (90 %), minimum timely knowledge of the activities in which it was possible to participate (16,7 %) and how poor or expected the flow of information was assessed (93,3 %). All these results improved considerably after the application of the product. Conclusions: the assessment of the product was positive on the part of the users and even though the level of knowledge was not the most favorable, it has contributed to improve the students' opinion and the status of participation.
