Welcome!

Dear Aggie Community,

I am truly honored to continue serving as the Interim Provost & Chief Academic Officer of New Mexico State University. Our dedication to academic excellence and student success is unwavering, and as I continue to serve in this role, I am filled with excitement and hope for the future.

A Year in Review

The past year has been one of tremendous progress and collective achievement for our Aggie family. Together, we celebrated the recognition of NMSU as a top-tier research institution, further strengthening our commitment to discovery and innovation. Our faculty secured groundbreaking grants in areas ranging from sustainable energy to health sciences, advancing both knowledge and real-world solutions.

Our students distinguished themselves in remarkable ways, whether through national awards, community engagement projects, or cutting-edge research. The Aggie Rodeo Team, Model UN, Aggies Without Limits, and countless other student organizations exemplified the leadership and passion that define our university. Student-athletes continued to inspire us with their grit, balancing rigorous academics with competitive excellence.

We also invested in initiatives to modernize our academic infrastructure, launch new interdisciplinary programs, and advance digital transformation, ensuring that NMSU remains responsive to the evolving needs of our students and communities. Above all, the past year reminded us of the strength of our community and our shared mission as a land-grant institution.

Looking Ahead

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.

Education 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 remain 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!
