SILVER CITY, NM - The beginning of a new academic year this August will bring renewed activity to the WNMU campus in Silver City, but it will also bring changes and growth to WNMU Deming and WNMU Gallup.
The WNMU Gallup Learning Center offers bachelor's level programs in elementary education, secondary education, special education and early childhood, as well as support for distance learning students in any discipline. The Gallup location opened in 2023. At its opening, WNMU President Joseph Shepard said that the university's decision to reestablish a presence in Gallup was prompted by the area's educational needs. "Gallup has always had a high need for teachers, as our state has as well," said Shepard, "Western New Mexico University started its roots as a teacher college and it was a natural fit for us to come to Gallup and continue that tradition."
