Over the next week, the site will be seeing some internal upgrades. Apperance wise it should remain the same but one major upgrade is the use of JavaScript in the site. If you don't have it enabled when you visit the site, most of the site will not work. So please enable it under your browser settings. For most people, this will not be a problem.

Secondly, a new section has been added to the site regarding internships. You can veiw that page here.

Carolyn Gonzales interviews Africana Studies Director Sherri Burr about UNM's Black History Month events, current academic initiatives in the program, news about a recent intersession course that took students to Egypt, and an introduction to Kadeshia Matthews, new faculty in English and Africana Studies."
