Universidad Mariana

The Mariana University is the result of a proposal made within the framework of the II International Congress of Franciscan alumni held in the city of San Juan de Pasto, from January 10 to 14, 1964, when delegations from different regions of the country and from the world where the Community of Franciscan Sisters has its apostolate, several proposals were presented, they were put to the consideration and approval of the Honorable Assembly. That was how on January 14, at the closing ceremony of the II International Congress of Alumni, it was decided to submit the request to the Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of Mary Immaculate for the creation of a Higher Education Center in this city with the purpose of continuing the level of training of the students, especially of the Nariñense woman, because the Community offered an education from kindergarten through high school, but its university complementation was necessary.
