On August 1, the university unveiled the "UdeC sin Fronteras" alumni network, a permanent structure intended to connect graduates living abroad. The program will offer mentorship, job and internship opportunities, and promote academic and scientific collaboration among alumni, reinforcing the university’s international profile. Two days later, on August 3, the rector introduced a series of participatory forums to design an Institutional Digital Culture Program. The forums will gather students, faculty, staff, specialists, and civil‑society representatives to develop policies for responsible use of mobile phones, social media, artificial intelligence and other digital tools. The initiative seeks to position the university as a national model for ethical digital practices in education. Both announcements reflect a broader effort by the University of Colima to strengthen its global connections and to address emerging challenges in technology use among its community. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: University of Colima launches forums to develop digital culture program UdeC will hold forums with students, staff and experts to craft a five‑stage Digital Culture Program, promoting responsible use of phones, social media and AI, says Rector Christian Jorge Torres Ortiz Zermeño. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-of-colima-launches-forums-to-develop-digital-culture-program ### 2026-08-01: Universidad de Colima launches global alumni network Universidad de Colima’s rector unveiled “UdeC sin Fronteras,” a permanent global alumni network offering mentorship, job links, and academic cooperation for graduates abroad. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/universidad-de-colima-launches-global-alumni-network --- Cite as: University of Colima program launches.
