Building the Future Building the Future
Albuquerque is celebrating its 300th birthday. In conjunction with the City's Tricentennial, the University of New Mexico is planning and organizing special events to salute the momentous 18-month commemoration.
The "UNM Salutes the Albuquerque Tricentennial Planning Committee" will follow the Albuquerque Tricentennial schedule of monthly themes for the UNM events. The themes are located at the City's website, www.albuquerque300.org.
The Tricentennial provides the UNM community with a chance to showcase the university's people, programs and places to local residents as well as visitors from around the world.
Festivities will include children's activities, demonstrations, hands-on activities, non-invasive health assessments, lectures, academic programs, poetry slams, live entertainment, campus tours -- you name it!
Our Planning Committee is concentrating much of its efforts organizing a camus-wide festival, scheduled for Friday, September 23, 2005 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The theme is UNM Salutes the Albuquerque Tricentennial, Building the Future.
The Committee seeks participation from UNM colleges, departments and from community organizations connected to UNM. This will be another way to showcase UNM's research activities, cultural opportunities, student talent, athletic programs and outreach efforts.
Join us in wishing Albuquerque a happy 300th! For additional information call 277-1813 or one of the UNM Salutes the Albuquerque Tricentennial Planning Committee members.
