Higher Ed Bond 3
ENMU has deep roots in New Mexico's ranching and farming communities, and we are stepping up to the plate with some massive upgrades! Thanks to a recently approved $2 million bond and a historic $15 million measure going to the ballot this fall, we are completely transforming our agricultural program with brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities. Remember to vote on Bond 3 in this election." There is no tax increase.
The upcoming $15 million ballot request this fall is for a brand-new Ag and Arts building. If approved by voters, this building will provide state-of-the-art technology, classrooms, labs, and shop spaces.
We’ve already broken ground on phase one of our growth, using a $2 million bond to construct a cutting-edge animal production and management facility.
These new facilities ensure local multi-generational ranching families have the top-tier technology and resources to thrive.

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.
