Descripción:The significant difference between private and public higher education lies not only in its cost but rather in the comprehensive and humanistic formation that characterizes the state public education. However, this discourse seems worn out to face the criticism of some members of the political class of this country, who have seen in public education an expense instead of an investment. For the next decade, the university should be projected to civil society; in this sense, university extension projects should be the main tool to achieve such a projection. However, also, the link between teaching and university extension can provide feedback to the curricula of careers, strengthening thereby the professional training of the students. In the past, the university extension was conceived as an end in itself, with little articulation with teaching, since the final products were oriented more towards civil society than internally. The link between extension and teaching is and should be a process of articulation in extension projects. The experience treasured with an extension project developed in the Brunca Regional Campus, in 2015 2016, has contributed to exemplify the link between these two areas of the substantive work of the university.
