October 21, 2002 LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS FORUM WITH FORMER UNM PRESIDENTS The UNM community recently held a campus wide celebration to commemorate
President F. Chris Garcia’s new role at the helm of the institution
even as the search is underway for UNM’s next president. The time is right to look back at some of the school's former leaders.
To that end, Open Doors presents "Crossroads in UNM History: Presidential
Voices and Visions" on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2-4 p.m. in the west wing
of Zimmerman Library. "This is an opportune time to discuss leadership and the qualities
of an effective leader," says Carolyn Mountain, manager, Division
of Iberian and Latin American Resources and Services (DILARES), and co-coordinator
of the Open Doors series. Teresa Marquez, Center for Southwest Research
librarian, is the other co-coordinator. Former Presidents Tom Farer, Bud Davis, Ferrel Heady, John Perovich and
Richard Peck will each have a chance to respond to three questions and
then the floor will be opened up to the audience for questions. They will be asked their opinions of the qualities and strengths needed
by the next president. They will discuss their individual achievements
as well as the difficulties each encountered during his presidency at
UNM. They will be asked for their particular vision for UNM. President F. Chris Garcia will make opening remarks and Camila Alire,
dean of library services will welcome everyone. Emerita Vice President
for Student Affairs Mari-Luci Jaramillo will serve as moderator. The event is sponsored by Rudolfo Anaya, Chicana/o Studies, Daniel's
Den, SHRI, the Center for Regional Studies, Hirst/Córdova Public
Relations and Professor Margaret Werner-Washburn. The Open Doors series is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. # # # |
