University of Colima academic and anniversary activities

Overview

The University of Colima has engaged in various academic and outreach initiatives. In August 2026, the institution welcomed 43 international students from nine countries—including Brazil, China, Colombia, South Korea, Spain, Japan, Morocco, Russia, and Mexico—for the August 2026–January 2027 semester. Cecilia García Valencia, director of the Office of Internationalization and Academic Cooperation (ODICA), noted the university’s 26 years of experience in academic mobility.

During the summer, the university concluded an interdisciplinary science course for adolescents titled ‘History and Cosmos in Dialogue: From Ancestors to the Stars.’ The program integrated biology, astrophysics, and history, using the FamilySearch platform to connect genealogical research with cosmic events. General research coordinator Dr. Xóchitl Trujillo-Trujillo emphasized the importance of fostering scientific interest at an early age, while Professor María de Jesús Ramírez Magallón noted the participants' aptitude in mathematics and science.

By late August 2026, the university reached a historic enrollment milestone, surpassing 31,700 students. During the inaugural ceremony for the 2026-2027 academic cycle, Secretary of Education and Culture Adolfo Núñez González stated that the institution has achieved ‘100% coverage for high school level demand.’

In September 2026, the university announced a program of 12 activities to celebrate its 86th anniversary, running through November. These festivities aim to impact teaching, research, and cultural extension across various municipalities. Scheduled events include the 17th International Colloquium on Gender, starting September 17, and the presentation of the Lázaro Cárdenas Medal to El Colegio Nacional on September 18.
