The University of Cauca, soon to celebrate 200 years of institutional existence, continues its self-evaluation process with the aim of obtaining reaccreditation in 2027. This is an exciting journey to which we want to invite you, as your participation is essential to realize this dream we share as a community.

It's a journey that will lead us to become a Bicentennial University Accredited for High Quality, and we hope to achieve this for another 10 years. To do so, we need your participation, as without your support and commitment, it would be impossible to realize this great dream of continuing to transform lives and make dreams come true through high-quality education. So don't think twice: pack your bags, claim your ticket, find your seat, and program your best playlist, because the next destination is reaccreditation!

It is important to remember that since 2013, according to Resolution No. 3218 of April 5th, the University of Cauca has held High-Quality Accreditation, a distinction that was renewed on June 13th, 2019. This demonstrates our continuous compliance with the highest standards and our position as one of the leading higher education institutions in Colombia. This achievement has been possible thanks to the commitment and teamwork of our university community, who have ensured quality in all our academic and administrative processes.

"Approaching two centuries of academic life, the high-quality reaccreditation by the National Accreditation Council (CNA) is a crucial milestone for the University of Cauca. Getting on the bus to reaccreditation is not just an institutional requirement but a resolute commitment to excellence, innovation, and progress. By obtaining this accreditation, we demonstrate our commitment to public education, which strengthens us as an academic institution and further positions us as leaders in the region and beyond," stated Dr. Alexander Buendía, director of the Center for Quality Management and Institutional Accreditation, excited to lead this great journey, in which every Unicaucan member plays a vital role. As Dr. Buendía added, "Committed professors, responsible administrators, and motivated students, we are all key pieces in this journey towards excellence. Our active and collaborative participation is essential to achieve this common goal. Let us remember that reaccreditation is not just an end in itself, but a means to continuously improve and provide quality and relevant public education. Together, we make history!"

Thus, institutional reaccreditation is a fundamental process not only for the institution but also for those who are part of it. Hence, we invite each person in this special university community to get on this bus, a bus with a clearly defined path: an accredited University in 2027. What do we expect from every Unicaucano? Your participation and support in each and every activity and event that will be developed within the framework of this process, as this will ensure we leave a legacy for posterity by delivering a bicentennial University to the next administration. A University that is #Everyone'sHeritage and that, for the third consecutive time, will receive high-quality accreditation, remaining in the select group of institutions that hold this distinction nationwide.

You already know, the engines are running, and you are essential because Together, we make history!
