In this context, the University not only focuses its attention on the development of undergraduate and graduate programs, but also on the management of activities that enhance them and enable them to offer a wide range of educational and professional development opportunities, both for those who can access in-person processes and for those who, due to their geographical location, cannot be present on the university campus, contributing to comprehensive and continuing education in different settings and fulfilling its vital and ongoing commitment to social development through critical, responsible, and creative education.

Thus, through the development of the activities of the Center for Continuing, Open, and Virtual Education – CECAV, the University of Cauca has promoted, throughout its years of existence, cooperation and the management of strategic partnerships with multiple institutions, such as Compañía Energética de Occidente, Comité de Cafeteros, Fundación Tierra de Paz, Fundación Panamericana para el Desarrollo (FUPAD), the Ministry of National Education, the Government of Cauca, the Municipality of Patía, Santander de Quilichao, El Tambo, Santa Rosa, National Parks, the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cauca (CRC), the United Nations Development Programme, the Mayor’s Office of Popayán, the Colombian Society of Pediatrics, the Latin American Forum for Music Education – FLADEM Colombia, and Susana López de Valencia Hospital, among other public and private entities, with which different education projects of academic and social relevance have been carried out.
