The University of New Mexico is well-represented in the New Mexico Business Weekly’s 2007 issue of ’40 Under 40.’ Eleven individuals with connections to UNM, either as faculty, staff, students or alumni, were named to the popular special supplement.
Faculty members recognized include: Shelly Arthur; John Benavidez; Dante DiGregorio; Doug Thomas; Harry Van Buren; and Craig White, all from the Anderson Schools of Management; staff members Carlos Rey Romero and Marla Wood; and doctoral student Alice Hopkins-Loy and law student DeAnza Valencia.
Additionally, former wrestler and letterman Scott Affentranger made the list. Currently an Ed.D candidate at UNM, Affentranger earned a bachelor's of arts in 1991 and a master's of science in 1995.
To be considered for the recognition, the NMBW solicits nominations for individuals who stand out in their fields, and who are also engaged in their communities trying to make New Mexico a better place to live.
A committee of ‘40 Under 40’ alumni then reviews and judges nominees on professional accomplishments, leadership and community activities. Three committee members reviewed each nominee. This year 178 nominations were submitted.
