A special award, the Distinguished Alumni Award, was given to Laurie Moye, president of the UNM Architecture and Planning Alumni Chapter and second term member of the UNM Alumni Association Board of Directors. Moye earned a master's degree in community and regional planning in 1982. She was the very first graduate of the program.
Among her accomplishments, Moye rallied the board and other volunteers to make nearly 300 phone calls in a single month to fellow alumni on behalf of the capital campaign for George Pearl Hall. These efforts raised more than $80,000 for the building.
After receiving her degree, she worked for a number of years at Dekker/Perich/Sabatini. She is now coordinator for the regulatory project and public participation at PNM, where she has worked for the past seven years.
