In the city of Quimbaya, Quindío, the Ordinary Assembly of the Colombian Association of Faculties of Psychology was held, of which the María Cano University Foundation has been a member for more than a decade. On this occasion, the Institution, through the director of the Psychology Program, Andrés Felipe Londoño Vélez, was selected to be part of the Association’s Board of Directors for the period 2022 – 2024, with the responsibility of the Knowledge Management Secretariat. This work implies a deep interaction with the different research nodes, groups and researchers, as well as the editorial project of the association, which becomes one of the most ambitious projects of ASCOFAPSI in the short term. The Assembly held had, among its main successes, the approval of the new statutes, which will drive the association in its permanent process of modernization.

ASCOFAPSI is a private, non-profit academic entity, made up of 82 Psychology programs in the country, which work in an articulated manner for the development and advancement of the profession in Colombia. Its mission is to «ensure the improvement of the university education of the psychologist in Colombia, with the permanent collaboration of its members, to contribute to the scientific, professional, ethical and social development of psychology.»

In its vision, it is highlighted that by 2020 the Colombian Association of Faculties of Psychology – ASCOFAPSI will be a national and international reference in the promotion and orientation of the quality of training in psychology to contribute to the development and scientific and social positioning of the psychological discipline.

We celebrate the participation of María Cano, in these spaces of growth and development of the psychological discipline in Colombia.
