Western New Mexico University is seeking input by community members as the university is working to develop a distinct identity, continuing the institution’s transformation into the future.
An Open Forum will take place Monday, February 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the Miller Library. President Shepard and other university officials will share their insights and a draft document, detailing the university’s new focus areas.
“We are exploring the crucial question of identity and determining what makes Western unique among the other six New Mexico universities,” said Dr. Jack Crocker, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs.
To help answer these questions, a draft document has been made available to the public as a starting point. The document shares WNMU’s new areas of focus including public safety, rural healthcare, rural education, international relations and applied liberal arts.
The document is available to review online: http://wnmu.edu/identity.
