Crimson Scholar Robert Arneson knows the value of a good education, and he hopes to instill this value at his high school alma mater.

"I feel that educating young people is the most important job in the world," says the Mayfield High School graduate. "To be a successful teacher you need passion, but you also need knowledge and preparation."

Arneson, who plans to teach at the high school level with a focus on social studies, says the education he is receiving at NMSU will prepare him to be an excellent teacher.

"NMSU is a great university," he says. "I feel that my professors care about me as an individual. They’re always helpful and accessible. I’ve had a positive experience with just about every professor I’ve had."

When Arneson is not student teaching at Mayfield High School, he likes to read historical fiction and non-fiction literature. He also writes, plays video games and keeps up-to-date on world politics.
