Earlier this week, we celebrated the great news that our college is going independent. There’s a lot of excitement about this development, but we know that some current students and parents have questions. The main thing we want everyone to know is that students are NMSU-C will continue to receive an excellent education throughout this process. The plan is for the formal transition to take place after the spring of 2022. That means those graduating in the spring of 2022 will do so as NMSU-C students. While there is a lot of work going behind the scenes, day to day operations will remain unchanged. We have a great faculty and staff at the college, and we’re certain they will be happy to answer any questions you have as well.
Sincerely,
Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway
