Jan. 31, 2003 UNM showcases programs at State Capitol Feb. 10 UNM’s people and programs will be celebrated at the New Mexico State
Capitol on Monday, Feb. 10 from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. Nearly 20 departments will represent “UNM Day at the State Capitol”
including the Manufacturing, Training and Technology Center (MTTC), KNME
TV, Continuing Education/Extended University and various departments from
UNM’s Health Sciences. Highlights of the day include interactive
robotics, HSC’s “Chip” Mobil Simulator, Chemistry Department’s
distance learning experiment and hands-on activities from UNM’s Recreational
Services. “This is an excellent opportunity to showcase just some of what
is so great about our University — the exciting, the remarkable,
even the inspiring,” said Susan Moczygemba-McKinsey, director of
University Communications/Marketing. “We want people to realize that
what UNM does touches every part of New Mexico. So we’ll take our
showcase right into the State Capitol when it is at its busiest, and we’ll
reach not only the Executive and the Legislature, but a lively gathering
of New Mexicans from all over the state as well. Space limits the number of exhibits, but they are just one element of
the event. “A major contribution will come courtesy of the students,
faculty, staff and alumni who will be visiting each of the legislative
offices and talking to their hometown elected officials about UNM,”
she said. One of the most anticipated events during every legislative session is
the UNM Alumni Reception that honors the Legislature, she said. “We
are fortunate that our UNM Day on February 10 will coincide with and benefit
from this long-standing tradition,” she said. The Associated Students of UNM and the Graduate Professional Student
Association will represent the UNM students. Other departments featured that day include Athletics, the Family Development Program, College of Fine Arts, New Mexico Poison Center, Public Affairs, Communications and Marketing, Science and Technology Corporation @UNM in conjunction with Zia Laser Technologies, Long Term Ecological Research (LTER), College of Nursing, Cancer Research and Treatment Center, College of Pharmacy, Consumer Health Information for the Public and School of Medicine. ### |
