Through these programs, we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging, inspire lifelong learning, and prepare our students to make meaningful contributions to NMSU and the Las Cruces community. Lastly, We aim to inspire students to become proactive leaders who are deeply invested in NMSU’s culture and traditions.
