The vocation of most engineering and science professors is admirable; however, designing educational models appropriate for today's students becomes a challenge that requires ongoing training and work in multiple aspects of teaching. This demand is a significant source of burnout syndrome, which is reflected in stress, physical and mental exhaustion, decreased academic productivity and intellectual vitality, and demotivation, among other symptoms. In December 2015, professors spontaneously selected a recreational and social space on campus with a novel element: karaoke; this element contributed to creating a sense of shared joy and freedom. This karaoke session took root naturally and was named Club 1943 Karaoke. It is currently held monthly and is attended by an average of 130 professors per session. This cultural phenomenon in the university setting is worthy of analysis as an element of cohesion and well-being for the faculty community. We started from the research assumption: "The karaoke at Club 1943 [on the Monterrey Campus of Tecnologico de Monterrey] is a cultural instrument that fulfills a necessary function in preventing, avoiding, and reducing the incidence of burnout syndrome in the academic community, and in promoting human flourishing in its professors." This research assumption was demonstrated using quantitative and qualitative indicators, and it was concluded that karaoke is a collective response of faculty to burnout syndrome and a trigger for their human flourishing. Based on the results, the institution decided to formally incorporate it into its economic budget as an investment and integrated it into the services it offers to its academic community by organizing it monthly. The institution conceptualized it as a model of coexistence and recreation to combat burnout syndrome and an opportunity to enhance human flourishing in professors. It can be replicated at other universities, and this research offers some recommendations for its implementation.
