The Washington, DC Chapter has been active since before there was a Chapter. Our annual Taco Picnic has been a fixture in the DC area for over 30 years. It was combined with the Green Chile Roast to become the place to be in DC in early September. In addition we host an Annual Lobo Day event in the spring featuring a UNM guest speaker. We started the DC Chapter Endowed Scholarship a number of years ago thanks to a 'match' from the Alumni Association. Thanks to the success of our Green Chile Roast and Taco Picnic it continues to grow. We have provided small scholarships to a number of DC Area students over the years, and are looking to increase the number this year.

The Chicago Chapter consists of almost 900 UNM alums scattered throughout the metro area.

The Denver Chapter is one of the first chapters formed to provide opportunities for alumni in their area to get together socially and to give back to UNM by way of student recruitment and college fair involvement.

Come join in the fun! We are in a period of transition and welcome new volunteers and ideas!
