Portales, NM–Oct. 9, 2024– Eastern New Mexico University earned status as a U.S. News and World Report "Best College" because of its excellent standing in the recently published 2025 Best College Rankings.
Eastern New Mexico was ranked 46th of 115 in the social mobility category for regional Universities in the West, an improvement of 24 spots from 2024. Social Mobility rankings focus on economically disadvantaged students who are less likely than others to finish college, even when controlling for other characteristics.
Universities recognized in this category are more successful than others at advancing social mobility by enrolling and graduating large proportions of disadvantaged students awarded with Pell Grants. Most of these federal grants are awarded to students whose adjusted gross family incomes are under $50,000.
The Asian and Pacific Islander Program at New Mexico State University invites all Aggies to come together this fall for a series of events designed to celebrate Asian, Asian American, Arab and Pacific Islander communities on campus.
The festivities include events that have become fall traditions at NMSU like the Asian Horror Film Festival and Anime and Cosplay Convention. But it also includes new events like a celebration to mark Filipino American History Month.
La Sociedad para Las Artes at New Mexico State University will host a public reading event for authors Danielle Dutton and Martin Riker as part of the Nelson-Boswell Reading Series, which invites visiting writers to NMSU to share their work with the community. The series is named in honor of writers Antonya Nelson and Robert Boswell, who began their teaching careers at NMSU.
Kathy Hansen, one of the three founders of Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University, has retired more than 20 years after the center began as a university tech transfer and intellectual property office.
Alongside Kevin Boberg and former NMSU Chancellor and New Mexico Gov. Garrey Carruthers, Hansen started Arrowhead Center in 2003. Since becoming the center's director and CEO in 2013, the center has grown into a key driver of innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development for New Mexico.
"While we had great hopes for what Arrowhead would be able to accomplish when we started the organization, the success we have achieved has been extraordinary to witness, even as someone who has been at the center of the work," Hansen said.
Two public health researchers at New Mexico State University are collaborating on a series of studies to understand the long-term impacts of food insecurity among American adults living with chronic diseases.
Jagdish Khubchandani and Karen Kopera-Frye, both professors of public health sciences in NMSU's College of Health, Education and Social Transformation, recently conducted two studies using multiple large population databases from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In their first study, Khubchandani and Kopera-Frye used a sample of more than 30,000 adults, 20 years and older, across the nation to understand the impact of food insecurity among those with colorectal cancer.

As every aspect of our society continues to speed up, the far-reaching potential of room-temperature superconducting materials could hasten our daily lives to light speed. Physics researchers' ability to understand these materials may eventually lead to new possibilities, including ultraefficient electricity grids, ultrafast and energy-efficient computer chips and ultrapowerful magnets that can be used to levitate trains and control fusion reactors.
This is just one area of materials physics, and there are many more. Thanks to a new grant, New Mexico State University can invite more students to participate in this type of research.
