Message from Vice President

Dear Student Affairs Colleagues,

This week we celebrate core members of our team and campus community, student employees. On Monday, student employees gathered at Draft and Table to network and discuss their experiences as students and student staff. We heard from many about the growth and development they find in their roles as well as their sense of purpose in service to their peers.

In the Division of Student Affairs, student employees occupy key roles that advance the student experience and serve the campus community. Whether running AV in the Student Union building, lifeguarding at Seidler Natatorium, providing enriching educational experiences at the UNM Children’s Campus, offering tax filing support at the Center for Financial Capability, or offering programming and mentorship opportunities in one of our many resource centers, student employees help ensure that the Division of Student Affairs is on the cutting edge of innovation while doing our work with heart, passion, and a sense of place.

I want to say thank you for being an important part of our team. I want to also give a special shout out to our Student Affairs Leadership Interns this year, Miriam Barba and Bree Hawkins, who as part of their leadership roles in the division planned and facilitated this week’s student employee recognition and have contributed meaningfully to advances in the student experience this year. If you know a star student employee and leader, please let them know that we are currently recruiting our next class of SALIs.

With appreciation,

Eric
