2024 NMSU PRESIDENTIAL FORUMS

Your insights are invaluable as we work together to shape the future of our university. Thank you for your ongoing support — we hope to hear from those who know NMSU best!

Of note: We’ve added an evening (5:30 – 7 p.m.) session for the broader community with each candidate. Those sessions will take place at the Las Cruces Convention Center.
