Other NM universities announcements

Since the age of 4, Diego Rivero has dreamt of one day attending an Ivy League school and becoming an anesthesiologist.

Diego is now 11 years old, and his dream hasn't changed, but he eagerly toured New Mexico State University as part of the William Conroy Honors College's Day as an NMSU Student program, which hosted groups of Sonoma Elementary School and Sierra Middle School students May 3. During the day, students learned more about the astronomy, computer science, physics and communication departments and the Creative Media Institute, and toured a couple of dorm rooms at Garcia Hall.

"What can St. Genevieve teach Las Cruces?" A group of community members posed that question in a zine titled "A New Zine Atlas of Las Cruces."

New Mexico State University graduate student Esperanza Chairez Uriarte answers that question through a zine she co-created in collaboration with community members over the course of three public workshops.

Born and raised in Las Cruces and pursuing a master's degree in the department of geography and environmental studies, the place she calls home has become the focus of much of her work.

KRWG Public Media, Las Cruces' public broadcasting for television and radio, earned nearly two dozen awards at the 2024 New Mexico Press Women (NMPW) Conference.

KRWG's first-place winners Jonny Coker, K.C. Counts, Angelina Malone, Anthony Moreno Noah Raess, Evelyn Sandoval, Christian Valle and Leora Zeitlin will go on to compete nationally. The National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) will announce those winners at their conference in June in St. Louis.
