Message from the Vice President

Dr. Scott with Student Affairs delegation at UNM Taos.

Dear Student Affairs Colleagues,

Welcome back! We are now just eight short weeks from commencement and entering one of the busiest and most critical times of the year, preparing students to meet the challenges of the spring semester, participate as engaged leaders and community members, and for some, take the next step of graduating.

Just yesterday, a delegation from Student Affairs visited the Taos Campus with our professional development committee to learn more about how they’re serving students and to ideate on how we can strengthen our bonds even more than they are now. It was a pleasure to spend a day on their beautiful campus rich with student-centered practice and community. I want to ensure that your calendar is marked for another important Professional Development Committee offering, the Student Affairs Professional Development Day, taking place on Wednesday, April 2 in the Student Union Building. With such robust offerings, there is sure to be something for everyone.



Finally, please be sure to nominate an outstanding colleague or department for a Louie Award this year. The annual tradition of the Louie Awards helps us connect and celebrate the year as a division and recognize some of the outstanding work we do. This year’s event is sure to a blast. 

With appreciation,

Eric
