Giving to NMHU
Giving to NMHU
As New Mexico Highlands University celebrates its 115th year, the NMHU Foundation would like to say thank you to all who have given most generously in the past to support the students, faculty, programs and projects that make our university a strong and vibrant academic community. As we look forward to a new century of success, we hope you’ll continue your support and generous giving to our Annual Fund Drive. Your gifts really do make a difference to a new generation of students.
During the past year, New Mexico Highlands University expanded its historic role of academic leadership in New Mexico. We opened the doors to a new site in Raton and expanded our School of Social Work into Albuquerque. And our students have continued to add to the academic, cultural, scientific and business fabric of the state through our top-notch programs:
• The School of Education, Highlands’ oldest program, graduated the most educational leadership candidates in New Mexico.
• Students in New Mexico Highlands’ Media Arts Program developed an interactive display in conjunction with the Santa Fe Institute. The display was featured at the National Science Foundation’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
• The New Mexico Highlands Madrigal Choir is planning its return trip as the choir in residence at the Classical Music Festival in Austria.
• Graduate students from the School of Social Work are working on a pilot project with the Bernalillo County Detention Center to reduce the rate of recidivism among inmates and their families.
• Students in the Department of Chemistry conducted research, along with scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratories, the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and The Georgia Institute of Technology, using the state’s only single-crystal x-ray diffractometer, housed on New Mexico Highlands’ campus.
• The first students graduated from New Mexico Highlands University’s new Certified Financial Planner Board registered financial planning program in the School of Business. Highlands is the only university in New Mexico that offers a board registered financial planning program degree.
Our great stories keep growing every day, but success doesn’t just happen. It takes the combined effort of motivated students, dedicated faculty, and the ongoing generosity of our alumni and friends. Your tax-deductable gift is an investment in a most valuable asset: our future.
With warmest regards,
