Incoming UNM President David J. Schmidly is appreciative but literally overwhelmed by all of the messages of support and invitations being sent to him from all over campus. As he is finishing up his teaching duties at Oklahoma State and his mentorship of graduate students, as well as trying to move, he says he's not able to reply as quickly as he'd like and he fears some things could fall through the cracks.
Acting President David W. Harris and Dr. Breda Bova in the UNM President's Office will step in to manage his correspondence during this transition period. Please send any email messages for Dr. Schmidly to bova@unm.edu. Put "Message for Dr. Schmidly" in the subject line.
Also, any hard copy letters, invitations or packages for Dr. Schmidly should be brought to the President's Office, and tagged “in care of Breda Bova.” “It is our intention that everything gets to Dr. Schmidly in an organized and timely fashion,” says Bova. “Thanks for your patience and cooperation. We don't want anything to slip through the cracks.”
