Casual receptions for students and families to celebrate freshman acceptance to UNM for fall semester
The University of New Mexico Alumni Association and Parent Association are partnering to kick off a new tradition titled “Summer Sendoffs.” The Summer Sendoffs are part of casual receptions for students and families to celebrate freshman acceptance to UNM for the 2008 fall semester. The "Summer Sendoffs" will be held Aug. 9, from 2 - 4 p.m. at various community parks all over New Mexico including Clovis, Farmington, Gallup, Hobbs, Las Cruces and Santa Fe.
Incoming students and their families will have the opportunity to meet other families in their area and connect with UNM representatives, alumni, current students and parents who can serve as a support network. It is a great chance to meet fellow Lobos and to make the transition to UNM a little easier.
The event will last approximately two hours and includes food, family and fun. This event is free to all incoming freshmen and family. For more information and to RSVP visit the UNM Alumni Web site at Summer Sendoffs or contact Laura Kelley at (505) 277-5808 or lkelley1@unm.edu.
