New Mexico State University Provost Alan Shoho will host a special celebration Thursday to honor the university's unsung heroes.
The celebratory luncheon will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, at La Posta de Mesilla in Mesilla, New Mexico. Seventy-one NMSU faculty and staff members will be recognized at the luncheon.

 
"NMSU has so many unsung heroes," Shoho said. "They do a great job without formal recognition. The unsung heroes luncheon is one small way to honor their dedication and commitment to NMSU. I am proud to recognize each and every one of them."
The honorees were selected based on nominations from colleagues and supervisors. Shoho recognizes nominees in his weekly Alan's Monday Message emails to the campus community.
