University of Colima members hold massive community cleaning event

Approximately 1,500 students, faculty, and staff from the University of Colima participated in the state-wide ‘Mega Tequio’ event. The initiative, held in celebration of the institution's 86th anniversary, focused on cleaning and waste collection efforts ‘for peace and against addictions.’

Activities took place across five municipalities: Colima, Villa de Álvarez, Coquimatlán, Tecomán, and Manzanillo. University Rector Christian Jorge Torres Ortiz Zermeño described the event as a demonstration of the university's social and community commitment. He noted that the term ‘tequio’ refers to a traditional community practice of performing collective work for the benefit of one's environment.
