Fundación Universitaria María Cano, Cali campus, participated in the sixth session of the Southwest Regional Node of the National University Outreach Network (RNEU), part of ASCUN, held in partnership with CIDESCO at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB), Palmira campus. The institution was represented by Professor Nelson Andrade, who joined this space for dialogue and collaboration on the role of higher education in social transformation.

During the meeting, representatives from UPB Palmira, Fundación Universitaria de Popayán, and Universidad Icesi shared their models of social outreach and university extension. Participants also reviewed progress on the Heroes of Social Outreach League initiative, led by CIDESCO, and discussed the committees’ work plan.

Taking part in these events allows María Cano to learn about good practices, contribute to academic dialogue, and strengthen collaboration with other higher education institutions. These experiences create opportunities to share knowledge, promote joint initiatives, and enrich university outreach processes.

Through its participation in regional initiatives, María Cano reaffirms its commitment to social outreach that connects education with community needs, encourages collaborative work, and contributes to developing relevant responses to the challenges faced by the communities it serves.
