It is truly a pleasure to serve as executive director of New Mexico State University Alumni Association. I have already heard from many alumni excited to continue being or become involved in their alma mater. What a wonderful welcome!

As I have been in contact with alumni and friends worldwide, you have shared your experiences. Thank you for the wonderful NMSU stories. All continue to remind me how proud I am to be an Aggie!

NMSU has provided many alumni, faculty, staff and friends a vast array of opportunities. Our university is truly a gem and hidden treasure of the state. In my experiences as student and employee, I have learned much about the accomplishments here at NMSU and the great opportunities that lie ahead. We, the alumni and friends of NMSU, can accomplish great things for the university and its students by being engaged and supportive.

As a native New Mexican and a three-time graduate of NMSU, the success of our university and its alums is dear to my heart. Alumni and friends play an important role as advocates with policy makers at various levels of government and as informal recruiters and mentors of students.

I invite you to participate, support and help move NMSU forward. It’s not too late to become a member and take advantage of the benefits. You may stop by, call or log into the Web site at http://alum.nmsu.edu. If you would like to reach me directly, call me at (505) 646-3617 or e-mail me at equintel@nmsu.edu or alumni@nmsu.edu.

Please keep us informed about your successes, career moves and new addresses. Let us know your interests in chapter activities. Remember to log into our online community. You can search for old NMSU friends and stay connected.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you personally. See you at Homecoming!
