The Institutional Well-Being Committee of the Huila Universities Network, led by Fundaci\u00f3n Universitaria Mar\u00eda Cano, Neiva Campus, and coordinated by Professor Viviana Caicedo Delgado, held a planning meeting to organize the second edition of the 5K Race \u201cWalk, Run, or Jog: Embrace Life\u201d, an initiative designed to strengthen spaces for integration, care, and support within the academic community.<\/p>\n
The sporting event will take place within the framework of World Suicide Prevention Day, observed annually on September 10, as a strategy to raise awareness about the importance of mental health care and the strengthening of social connections. Through this activity, the participating institutions seek to deliver a message of hope, solidarity, and support, emphasizing the importance of recognizing warning signs and seeking help when needed.<\/p>\n
This initiative reaffirms the commitment of Huila\u2019s universities to the comprehensive well-being of their students, faculty members, and staff, promoting environments where every person feels heard, valued, and supported. Under the slogan \u201cEmbrace Life\u201d, the second edition of the race serves as a reminder that no one is alone and that every institution has support networks available to provide guidance and assistance in different situations.<\/p>\n
Beyond promoting physical activity, the event aims to strengthen the sense of community and belonging within higher education institutions, encouraging healthy lifestyles while fostering dialogue about mental health and emotional well-being. By bringing together students, faculty, staff, and families around a common purpose, the race seeks to create meaningful opportunities for connection and collective support.<\/p>\n
The Huila Universities Network continues to demonstrate that collaborative efforts among higher education institutions can contribute significantly to the promotion of mental health and suicide prevention. Through initiatives such as \u201cWalk, Run, or Jog: Embrace Life,\u201d the participating universities reinforce their commitment to building caring, supportive, and resilient academic communities where life, well-being, and human connection remain at the center of their mission.<\/p>\n
