“I feel very happy, very pleased that precisely at this time when the 198th anniversary of the University is being commemorated, work that has been carried out for several years in the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications is being recognized. I am very happy to be able to contribute to the University’s continued growth and to demonstrate that this long trajectory is the result of the excellent academic quality we have with our students. For this to be recognized makes me very happy, and I feel very proud to belong to the University of Cauca,” expressed Professor Catalina Muñoz, visibly moved, who prepared the team for the Huawei ICT Competition.

Likewise, in a very special sphere, Manuel José Hurtado, recognized for his contribution to university sports, expressed his gratitude: “For me, it was not only a source of great joy, but also a great honor to receive this recognition from the institution that I have loved the most and that means the most to me in my life, which is the University of Cauca, since it is where I was educated and also where I was trained as an athlete. I had the opportunity to represent my University in national and international events, and also as a leader in university sports. This recognition not only generated a very positive experience in my life, but also in the life of my family, in my children, who saw the effort and dedication with which I devoted my life to the University being rewarded, because it was something that I believe I was also missing a little, since I served the institution with affection and loyalty. Many generations of students passed through my hands, to whom I believe I was able to provide guidance so that today they are outstanding professionals, above all honest, who are serving the country greatly and are a source of pride for the University.”
