The University of New Mexico (UNM) stands as a beacon of diversity, academic excellence, and innovative research. UNM commits to diversity and cultural inclusion which creates a rich diverse community. As UNM continues to grow and evolve, it focuses on intellectual growth, cultural understanding, and community engagement, preparing scholars for the thriving and changing world. UNM plays a crucial role in the local community and beyond. Locally, it contributes significantly to the economy through job creation, research, and development initiatives. UNM fosters international collaboration and exchange through various study-abroad programs and research collaborations. These initiatives enrich the academic experience for students and broaden the university's impact on global issues. UNM has changed my outlook on community issues in the Navajo Nation and the local Albuquerque community. I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience from Professors at UNM.
