UNM Health Sciences was born in   the late 1950s as a two-year   medical school to meet New   Mexico's growing need for   health professionals. Today the   HSC includes the:       A. College of Nursing       B. College of Pharmacy       C. Health Sciences Library       D. School of Medicine       E. All of the above!   Click here to respond   (Visit the Online Community   homepage and scroll down.)     In last month's Howl Back poll, we   asked, "When’s the busiest time   for weddings in the chapel?"   While Valentine's Day wins for   busiest day, half of you knew that   July is the busiest month, with   about three weddings a weekend.

UNM’s First Dorms   The University's first dormitories   were constructed in 1906.   Separate men and women's   dorms were built in the Spanish   Pueblo style of architecture that   President William Tight initiated   on the campus in 1905. The   dorms were given "Indian"   names and painted with Indian   symbols on the outside of the   buildings. The women's dorm   was named "Hokona," which   means "butterfly maiden." The   men's dorm was named   "Kwataka," which means   "man-eagle."
