UNM Alumni Chapters Are the Heart of
Lobo Spirit
There’s a familiar feel to the Second
Saturday breakfast that’s held each month in Denver. It’s
at “Little Anita’s”—a branch of the Albuquerque
landmark. In addition to this monthly event, Denver-based alumni will
throw a Happy Hour in June, a day at the Rockies (baseball team) in July,
an annual summer picnic and white elephant auction, Mountain West Conference
tournament activities, and other events. Chapter President Gary Repetto,
'67 BS has served on the Alumni Board of
Directors and Alumni Lettermen
Board. He shares the kudos for the chapter’s success with his wife,
Antoinette, and fellow alumni Todd Elston, '78 BABA, Carol Garcia, '88
BA , '01 MAPA , and Ken and Milly Hansen, '55 BSAE and '55 BABA, among
others.

These are just two examples of what’s going on with our chapters around the country. We’re grateful to all the active members who make these groups such a vital part of the Lobo Spirit. Soon we’ll welcome chapter leaders to campus for the annual Chapter Council meeting. In addition to attending workshops on student recruitment, scholarships, and activities, chapter leaders will have a chance to connect with university faculty, staff, and fellow dedicated alumni from around the country.
These are just two examples…

Successes Mark 2004-2005 Academic
Year
Surely, Commencement Day this May was the highlight
of the year for the university’s 1,749 new graduates who received
their bachelor’s degrees and the 876 scholars who received advanced
degrees.
Other university successes include progress on legislative priorities and a well-attended DC Congressional Reception, hosted by UNM President Caldera and the UNM Alumni Association. This high-visibility event brought together over 160 alumni, Congressional staff, government agency representatives, and friends to discuss issues of importance to the State and UNM.
Join us in congratulating the recipients of our Alumni Association scholarships. We could not be prouder of all our Lobo athletes, who brought home an unprecedented number of personal bests, division wins, and championships this year.
Looking ahead to the future, the Star Scholars program honors the top 10 percent of each high school junior class in New Mexico. Nine recognition receptions were held throughout the state during the spring. The students and their families were invited for an evening of information about UNM and scholarship opportunities available to them.
