For the Academic Vice-Rector, Dr. Aída Patricia Gonzales Nieva, this moment represents the realization of a project built with rigor and sensitivity: “Today we see the faces and the stories behind each process, life projects that come to fruition after years of effort and dedication.” She also emphasized that many of the new professors had already been contributing to the institution as adjunct and temporary faculty, demonstrating a commitment to recognizing professional trajectories and strengthening job stability.

For his part, the Rector of the caucana Alma Mater, Deibar René Hurtado Herrera, stated: “We are happy because we are making progress in terms of the formalization of professors, but also in providing them with better conditions of job stability and salary guarantees that allow them to continue performing their work with excellence and contributing to the construction of this important institutional project as we approach the bicentennial.”

Among the new members of the faculty, emotions reflect years of dedicated work and a strong vocation for service, as expressed by Magda Beatriz Erazo Bonilla from the Department of Private Law, for whom this achievement holds deep meaning: “On a personal level, it is a great joy, an immense satisfaction, because this is the culmination of 19 years of work linked to the Law Program as both adjunct and temporary faculty. That is what I feel, and on a professional level, it is a reaffirmation of my commitment, to the University, to the institution, to the duty of educating excellent lawyers from the University of Cauca, excellent human beings who contribute to society,” she shared with great emotion.
