Welcome from the Director of Black Programs, Mr. Cecil Rose. As a contributor to the rich history of New Mexico State University for over 50 years. Black Programs unites students of African American, Black, Caribbean, and African descent in developing scholarship, leadership, and advocacy as students, graduates, and alumni. We share the awareness and history of Black culture and excellence to the campus at large, the Las Cruces community, and through various engagements.

Our students from African American, Black, Caribbean, and African descent have the opportunity to engage in programs, events, and initiatives that allow them to have intentional, cultural affinity but also develop a successful network among each other and amongst our Black faculty and staff. In the upcoming years, Black Programs will support our reimagined living learning residential community (Sankofa); Academic scholarship with involvement with various, Black academic organizations; Mentoring from a peer and faculty and staff model inclusive of students' major and interest; and events and programs that enhance engagement (academically, socially, and civically) that creates a sense of support and belonging during our students time here.

We welcome all to our amazing space of gathering and learning where all are welcomed and all are supported!

Cecil Rose — Director, Black Programs
