New UNM Strategic Framework

UNM President David J. Schmidly has launched an initiative to set a course for the university for the next several years. For the past few months, university leadership has worked to develop a "Strategic Framework" that individual departments and programs can use as guide as they develop their plans and goals.

President Schmidly says this exercise sets UNM on a specific course for the next several years so it is important for everyone to participate in the process now as it is being shaped.
