Faculty Lectureship | Wednesday, February 7, 2024, | 3:30 p.m. | Change in Perceived Wellness of U.S. University Employees during the COVID-19 Pandemic | Kristin Kuhlmann, Ph.D., RN | From March 2020 – Fall 2021, the ENMU-Portales campus was closed to all students and employees due to the COVID-19 pandemic, except those deemed “essential” to the function of the campus. Due to indications that U.S. residents were experiencing adverse, indirect mental and physical effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a survey study aimed at measuring perceived wellness was conducted with ENMU-P employees at two times: upon their return to campus in Fall 2021 and seven months later, in Spring 2022. The study's findings and the methodologies employed for data collection and analysis will be reported.
Congrats to Dr. Donald Elder. On Friday, he was elected a Fellow of the American Astronautical Society. He is being recognized for his contributions to space history through his multiple books, service to the AAS History Committee, work as Series Editor for the AAS History Series, and committee leadership for the AAS Emme Award for Spaceflight Literature.

Black History Month Durags and Bonnets | Friday, February 9 | All Day | The idea generated from the want and desire to express self-care and self-love to Black men and women throughout the University. In the '90s and early 2000s, the Durag became a fashion statement of Black pride, worn by rappers like 50 Cent and basketball players like Allen Iverson. Although its trend has worn off, it is now re-emerging as an act of self-love. In that vein of reclamation, various colleges are celebrating Durag and Bonnet Day.
