SILVER CITY, NM — Western New Mexico University students are offering free tax preparation assistance to seniors and low-income families in the southwest corner of the state. 

This is the 42nd year WNMU students have run the local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. This free service is for people whose household income is $64,000 or less and for those who are 65 years or older. The volunteers — WNMU business and accounting students— are certified by the IRS and trained to help taxpayers identify tax credits.

The WNMU Francis McCray Gallery of Contemporary Art and the Expressive Arts Department will present the annual Juried Student Art Exhibit February 29 through March 31. The opening reception for the exhibit will begin at 6:00 PM on February 29, with awards announced at 6:30. More information can be found on the university's website.
