Four days shy of his first anniversary as President of the University of New Mexico, David J. Schmidly presented a year-end progress report to the UNM Board of Regents. That report shows completion of or significant progress made in 90 percent of the regents' goals set for the President. It was presented to the regents as part of the President's annual evaluation.

“The regents couldn’t be more pleased with President Schmidly,” said Regents’ President Jamie Koch. “He does what he says he’s going to do, and he’s achieved goals faster than we anticipated.”
Jill Derby, a governance consultant who facilitated the evaluation, reported on the process during the May 28 regents’ meeting, and called it exemplary and a best practices model for any college presidency. Derby also praised the process for its transparency.
“I’ve enjoyed working with everyone at UNM,” Schmidly told the regents. “It was a productive year and we achieved many of the things we set out to do.”
Schmidly and the regents will work through the summer to set out goals for the coming year. Those will be presented in August.
