Since starting her position, she has helped the city battle a pandemic, started an agency initiative for women in her field called Women in Leadership and has mentored many young interns in the world of Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping software.

Portales, NM – April 16, 2024 – Eastern New Mexico University announced today that the Golden Library Archives has digitized the collection of all ENMU Silverpacks, the University yearbooks, dating from 1935-2008.

"I am beyond excited to see this project come to fruition," said Regina Bouley-Sweeten, Archives and Special Collections Librarian. "So many people will use this collection, from alumni and their families to local community members to researchers and more. I especially want to thank the ENMU Foundation for funding the digitization of the yearbooks."

A $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will fund training for undergraduate researchers at New Mexico State University over the next five years. The award, under the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences, will support NMSU's Undergraduate Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (U-RISE) Program.

The program promotes broad participation in the biomedical research workforce by strengthening research training environments and expanding the pool of well-trained students who complete their baccalaureate degree, and transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs such as Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.

A New Mexico State University researcher has co-authored a new book that examines wild carnivores of New Mexico.

This year, the upcycled and recycled designs are inspired by literature, with the theme being "Book it to the Runway!" One of the main purposes of the fashion show is to continue making a positive impact on the environment and create more sustainability.  

Thanks to the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend program, Jamie Bronstein, a New Mexico State University history professor, will be researching what was once known as New Mexico's "Territorial Insane Asylum."

A transatlantic historian, usually focused on Britain and the United States, Bronstein in recent years has grown interested in less researched areas of New Mexico history. Her current project is titled: "The "Insanity" of Colonialism: Mental Health in New Mexico, 1889-1930." A $6,000 NEH stipend this summer will allow her to spend two months of uninterrupted research in various archives and databases to draw some conclusions about the state's mental institution and the patients it served.
