Come join our amazing Lobo family by exploring a Humanities major or minor. As a graduate assistant for NMHumanitiesNOW, I am a resource for you and can help ease your transition to UNM main campus from CNM or one of our UNM branch campuses. Joining us at UNM main campus will allow you to access resources, faculty, and staff that will become part of your professional and educational networks for life. The relationships that you build while pursuing your degree will help to support and ground you in your career. Overall, becoming a Lobo was an excellent decision for my future. I look forward to seeing you relaxing by the Duck Pond or in Zimmerman grabbing a Starbucks. #GoLobos

UNM offers many research opportunities. For the last two years, it has been my honor to advise incoming undergraduates and support them on their own research projects. NMHumanitiesNOW offers a scholarship for Humanities transfer students who are engaged in a research topic with an approved UNM advisor. This is a great opportunity to get financial support while gaining research field experience. Please consider applying and taking advantage of this great program. I look forward to mentoring our upcoming Lobo leaders.
