Upgraded Portal Launch Date
Communication Services is happy to announce the launch date for our new Portal experience powered by Pathify. Employees will enjoy the new Portal and features beginning the morning of July 6.
Do you have questions about the new Portal? Contact [email protected] to learn more.
Website Update
Communication Services continues its work with the web design firm Juicebox as part of the scheduled website update.
After several focus groups, feedback, and early drafts of the new website visual design, we will soon move into the next stage of development: content refresh.
As Juicebox continues designing the website, we will work with the Academic and Service departments to refresh content across our webpages. The ENMU web team will reach out to departments and offices at the appropriate time.
We ask that, during this time (fall period), webpage updates be limited to necessary changes to avoid duplicating effort or missing changes during content migration. Currently, we are projecting a mid-late Fall soft launch of the website experience.
Communication Services Staffing Changes and Updates to Services
Effective July 1, the Office of Communication Services will have several exciting changes to office management. Please stay posted for an official announcement and updates on the primary contacts for our services within the department.
Additionally, Communication Services is exploring improvements to our request form and creating a resource page for services across our department. We hope to also have this released in the coming months
Fine Arts
4th Annual Community Juried Art Exhibition
Available throughout June from 8 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. | Runnels Gallery, Golden Student Success Center (GSSC)
The Fourth Annual Community Juried Exhibition highlights local talent within 40 miles of Portales, New Mexico. This year, guest juror Rhonda Headley—an ENMU alumna and Meow Wolf designer—selected 29 exceptional works from over 100 submissions based on originality and craftsmanship. Open to all media and free to enter, the event celebrates artists of all experience levels and features top awards for Best of Show, First Runner-Up, and Second Runner-Up.
This year’s exhibition was juried by Rhonda Headley, an Eastern New Mexico University alumna and Senior Graphic Designer of Signage at Meow Wolf. In her professional work, Headley helps create visual systems and environmental graphics that guide audiences through immersive experiences. As a juror, she reviewed submissions and selected the works presented in this exhibition.
Featured artists include Linda Anderle, Dalton Banister, Evelyn Bassett, Sarah Bice, Brittany Crone, Clyde Davis, Mackenzie Fox, Jaslyn Gilbert, Jonathon Gooding, Bryan Hahn, Barbara Klapperich Senn, Cooper Knauer, Debbie McCart, Divyaxi Patel, Heather Reno, Arrianna Romero, Becky Smith-Hahn, Mason Stielow, and Crystal Welch.

Human Resources
Salary Increase
As a result of the legislative session and approval from the ENMU Board of Regents, regular employees (on staff as of June 30,2026) will receive a 3% increase to their salary this year. Of the 3%, 1% will come directly from state funding and the other 2% will come from ENMU. The effective date for staff is July 1 and for most faculty at the beginning of your 26-27 academic year contract. For staff, payment will be partially reflected in your July 17 paycheck. The first full check reflecting your raise will be July 31, but keep in mind that is a no deduction check (3rd paycheck of the month), so you will see the full impact of the 3% increase on your August 14th check. Dr. Johnston and his entire leadership team want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to ENMU!
