Message from the Vice President

Dear Student Affairs Colleagues,

 Congratulations! Some of you graduated this weekend and to those staff members who completed a degree, I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your dedication to continuous improvement as life-long learners while also serving UNM and your fellow students with passion and poise. Whether you completed a degree or not, each of you have been a critical part of our students’ pathways to this momentous achievement in their lives.

The impacts that Student Affairs practices have on the UNM experience runs deep and wide, as evidenced and advanced by our new Innovating the Student Experience strategic plan which officially launches tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. in the Mesa Vista Courtyard. If you are one of those late RSVPs, it is critical that you indicate your intention to attend by today at 5 p.m.

The entire Student Affairs team and many of our most connected campus partners have worked diligently and passionately to produce a plan that is an authentic representation of our values and practices, and advances us through evidence-based and culturally responsive practices to the top of the field. Indeed, our process has been as important as our product as we are already set up for success. We now have a comprehensive and representative roadmap for the future of our division, and I am so grateful that you are a part of it. Whether you can make the launch in person or not, we are excited to innovate the student experience, together. 

With appreciation,

Eric
