A recent World Economic Forum report demonstrates a consistent increase of international migrants over the past 10 years is due to economic hardship, climate change, conflict and political instability. The "involuntary migration" of millions is expected to continue and is ranked as a long-term concern worldwide.

New Mexico State University is offering a Ph.D. in Transborder and Global Dynamics to help a new generation of students gain the tools to research these issues. Applications will be accepted through Dec. 1 for the first cohort to begin in fall 2025.

"This doctorate is designed to allow students to focus on important issues that transcend borders, such as migration, asylum, human rights and environmental pressures, while encouraging field work that can lead to not only academic careers but also careers in nonprofit organizations, local and state government and other areas," said Neil Harvey, NMSU government professor and department head.

A breeze wafted through the air on a late summer morning, rustling neatly kept plots of lush-green alfalfa at New Mexico State University's Leyendecker Plant Science Research Center. The field had all the signs of a well-maintained crop of forage. But its neighboring field was an entirely different story.

A short distance away, withering alfalfa remnants, unlike their vibrant, purple-flowering counterparts, dotted a square acre of dry and cracked soil. Here, NMSU researchers are testing multiple varieties of drought-resilient alfalfa developed over 25 years, using molecular techniques and conventional breeding approaches.

The Scale Up New Mexico program, based at New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center and partially funded by the United States Economic Development Administration, recently marked the successful completion of its fourth 2024 cohort of the Venture Funding Sprint acceleration program.

The accelerator program provides tech startup founders in New Mexico with essential knowledge and skills for understanding financial terminology and instruments, negotiating with potential investors, and developing tools and materials needed to attract investment. It achieved significant success by helping promising startups deepen their understanding of fundraising timelines, data room preparation, and valuation methodologies. This comprehensive support empowered them to refine their financing strategies and navigate the complexities of raising venture capital more effectively.

A team of researchers at New Mexico State University has been making strides to provide more clues about underlying factors during cancer progression through an ongoing partnership with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington. This collaboration will focus on a critical aspect of cancer biology: the metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.

Soyoung Jeon, associate professor of applied statistics in the NMSU College of Business, said the collaboration was possible through the Partnership for the Advancement of Cancer Research, a long-standing collaboration between NMSU and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Portales, NM – November 8, 2024- ENMU's Department of Theatre and Digital Filmmaking is proud to present a theatre performance of "Romeo and Juliet," a classic tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

Romeo and Juliet, the tragic story of doomed lovers whose stars seem to conspire against them, has been performed on stages worldwide for over 400 years and adapted numerous times for film, musical, and opera venues.

Eastern New Mexico University will bring this classic tragedy about two star-crossed lovers to the main stage at the University Theatre Center, with a twist, bringing the setting to New Mexico. The play will be spoken in the traditional old English in which the play was initially written.

Students at New Mexico State University's Center of Supply Chain Entrepreneurship program in the College of Business have proven their hard work, dedication, and success after earning second place in a global supply chain competition that was held in early October.

Four NMSU supply chain program students – Valeria Gomez, Mia Martinez, Alex Thorson, and Jorge E. Ramirez – were selected to compete in the annual General Motors/Wayne State University Supply Chain Case Competition in Detroit, Michigan.
