The Pillars of Student Success
Empower–We promote self-actualization and empower NMSU students, our staff, and others to become active participants in their personal and professional education and growth to contribute to the greater community and live for a larger purpose.
Engage–We engage our students, staff and others in their learning processes and educational journey through active learning, discussion and civil discourse, and service to others as they work towards their goal of a degree, certification, or additional knowledge and experience.
Guide–As part of our work, we serve as leaders, mentors or guides that challenge and support students, staff, and others to strive for continuous improvement and positive change as they navigate NMSU degree programs, systems, processes, and co-curricular experiences while pursuing their personal and professional goals.
