Anderson Leaders Share Vision at Economic Forum

At Anderson, our mission is clear: to prepare students to thrive in their careers and make a lasting impact in New Mexico. That mission was front and center in early September when Dean Alina Chircu, Associate Dean Reilly White, Senior Associate Dean Kathryn Jacobson, and Senior Executive Director Rob DelCampo presented at the Economic Forum of Albuquerque. 

Their presentation on “Anderson Means Business: Educating Business Leaders, Empowering New Mexico” highlighted how innovative academic programs, co-curricular learning, competitive events, and community engagement opportunities help students build professional skills from day one. These experiences are shaping students who are career-ready, adaptable, and motivated to lead. The entire Anderson School of Management community is dedicated to moving education and economic development in New Mexico forward. 

UNM Innovation Academy Celebrates 10 Years of Creativity and Entrepreneurship

Ten years ago, the University of New Mexico launched the Innovation Academy (iA) with a simple but bold idea: what if students in any major could turn creativity into their most valuable skill? Since then, more than 21,000 Lobos from over 90 majors have participated in iA programs, competitions, and courses designed to help them think like entrepreneurs, solve problems, and bring bold ideas to life.

From the Rainforest Pitch Competition to e-commerce courses and international partnerships, iA has become a hub for students to test their ideas, gain real-world experience, and build ventures that fuel New Mexico’s economic growth. By connecting students with local businesses, mentors, and community partners, the academy has strengthened the state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem while helping keep talent and innovation close to home. As the program celebrates its 10th anniversary, Director Robert DelCampo reflects on how far it has come, and where it’s headed next.

Anderson Career Week Showcases Opportunity and Engagement

Anderson’s Career Week was a tremendous success, bringing together students, faculty, staff, and corporate partners for a series of events designed to prepare Lobos for their professional futures.

The week kicked off with the Anderson Networking Reception, where students built valuable connections with business professionals. Students also took advantage of Professional Headshots to elevate their LinkedIn profiles and resumes. The Career Fair at the SUB welcomed employers from across industries, giving students the chance to explore career paths and connect directly with recruiters.

Support events like the Anderson Community Closet and Career Fair Prep Workshop helped students polish their resumes, refine interview skills, and access free professional attire, removing barriers and setting them up for success.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the faculty and staff whose efforts made this week possible, and to the corporations and organizations who generously shared their time, resources, and expertise with our students. Your commitment ensures that Anderson students are not only career-ready but also inspired to lead with confidence.
