Dear Aggie Community,

I am truly honored to serve as the Interim Provost of New Mexico State University. Our dedication to academic excellence and student success is unwavering, and as we gear up for the 2024/2025 academic year, I am filled with excitement and hope for the future.

At NMSU, we blend innovation with tradition. We encourage every student to dive into their passions, challenge their thinking, and build the skills needed to make a real difference in the world. Our incredible faculty and staff work tirelessly to create a supportive and enriching environment that promotes growth, critical thinking, and a sense of curiosity.

I am proud of our student-athletes, who truly embody the Aggie spirit. Their ability to juggle the demands of sports with academic excellence is nothing short of inspiring. They not only bring honor to our university but also motivate us all with their dedication and resilience.

Education here extends far beyond the classroom. Our lively campus life, diverse community, and extensive extracurricular options ensure that every student finds their place and flourishes. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued.

As we face the challenges and opportunities of our ever-evolving world, we are dedicated to empowering our students, supporting our faculty and staff, and advancing knowledge for the greater good. Together, we will continue to build a bright and successful future for our university and for every member of our Aggie family.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let's move forward with confidence, curiosity, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Go Aggies!
