2008 Legislative Committee

ENMU plays a distinctive role in higher education in our state and has established a prestigious reputation since its opening in 1934. The University has provided a quality education for more than 30,000 graduates that serve as our public school teachers, communicators and community leaders across the state. Thousands of others have benefited from having a higher education institution in this area of the state to keep the economy alive and the people prosperous. For the twentieth consecutive year, representatives of the ENMU Alumni Association Legislative Affairs Committee visited state legislators in Santa Fe on Jan. 16. Information regarding ENMU’s priorities for the 30-day session was distributed. A “Reception for Legislators” was held that evening at the Inn and Spa at Loretto. This event is sponsored by the ENMU Alumni Association and the ENMU Foundation.
