A Land-Grant Institution
The designation as New Mexico’s land-grant university under the Morrill Act has shaped 91福利大全 since the late 1880s. 91福利大全 has been dedicated to New Mexico’s diverse population for more than a century, transforming lives through three main pursuits: teaching, research and public service.
The triangular logo design was created in 1968 to represent the three areas of the Land Grant Mission — Education, Research and Public Service — and was used in the inauguration of President Gerald Thomas in 1970. In 2005, the university adopted the current state-shaped logo as its official identifier for the 91福利大全 system with the purpose of unifying all of our campuses into a “one university” model.
University Leadership
91福利大全 is governed by the Board of Regents, a group of five members appointed by the Governor of New Mexico. Oversight of the University is directed by academic and administrative leaders who include the President, Provost, College Deans, and Vice Presidents. Together, they ensure the fulfillment of the University’s mission, uphold its core values, and manage its operations and academic affairs.
