President Caldera Welcomes
Alumni
In a special letter to our alumni community, President Caldera
welcomes all of us to join together in moving UNM into the future...starting
with Homecoming this October 3-8.
 |
This year’s Homecoming theme of “Reflections: Honoring the Past, Building the Future” couldn’t be more appropriate as we look back in appreciation and forward to building another successful year. |
We’re looking forward to the annual Alumni Faculty/Staff Appreciation luncheon, the Heritage Club Dinner (inducting the Class of 1955), the UNM Alumni Lettermen Annual Meeting, the All-University Breakfast where this year’s Zia Award recipients will be honored, myriad reunions, and the traditional Southwest Fiesta and Silent Auction before kickoff.
All leading up to the big game, when the Lobos will crush the BYU Cougars on Saturday, October 8 at 6 p.m. (Go Lobos!)
One important way you can support Homecoming is to join the Homecoming 100 Club. You’ll receive your choice of either a pair of tickets to the UNM Homecoming football game or a limited edition UNM Homecoming poster.
And for truly representing Lobo Spirit—with friendship, optimism, and sheer inventiveness—we tip our hats to one group of alumni who have been celebrating Homecoming together for 30 years—with a place-kicker twist. This one has to be read to be believed.

Reflections: New Freshmen and Golden
Grads
In the spirit of reflections, here are some
thoughts on life from our entering freshmen (class of 2011) and our Golden
Graduates (classes of 1955 and 1956).
Lobo Football—We’re Talking
Tailgates
When it’s two hours before kickoff,
where will you be? Hopefully, right next to some fellow alumni at one
of two tailgates sponsored by the Alumni Association this fall. The first
will be held October 1 at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth,
Texas. Don’t miss the first match-up of the Lobos and the Horned
Frogs since the formation of the Mountain West Conference.
The second tailgate will be at San Diego State, against the Aztecs, on October 22.
These tailgates will start two hours before game time, which will be determined about two weeks before the game by the MWC.
Here on campus, the Lettermen’s Association will sponsor a tailgate party starting at 9 a.m. for the Lobos’ season opener September 5 against UNLV. That game will be televised on ESPN2 at 11 a.m. The Lettermen’s Association will sponsor tailgates at each home game, starting two hours prior to kickoff.
Bring On the Chile
Roasts
Nothing says home to chile-starved Lobos around
the country like a care package of green chile. That’s where your
regional alumni chapter comes to the rescue. From Atlanta to Los Angeles
to Chicago, there’s an upcoming chile roast near you. Last year,
the UNM Alumni Association shipped over seven
tons of green chile around the country. (And that’s
not all of it—some of our larger alumni chapters order their green
chile shipment directly from wholesalers.)
Here on campus, the Young Alumni association will host a chile cook off on September 17 before the game with New Mexico State.
Plus, a few recipes to get your creative green chile juices going.
Get Digital with Continuing Education |
Continuing Education at UNM announces new equipment and new offerings in Digital Arts. Our graphic |
We can meet all the training needs of the Digital Arts enthusiast, from the hobbyist with a new digital camera, to the aspiring design professional or filmmaker staying on top of the latest high-end software. We have courses for those wanting to improve established careers as well as for those just getting started.
Happy Anniversaries!
The Agora Crisis Center is the oldest student-run
crisis center in the nation and the only one serving New Mexico. We wish
them a happy 35th anniversary this year. Are you one of their 5,000 alumni
who trained to help your fellow students? They’d love to hear from
you.
Other UNM anniversaries we’ll be celebrating at Homecoming include the College of Pharmacy (60th), the College of Nursing (50th), and the School of Architecture (30th).
We Hear YouIn the past two years of bringing you The Howler, we’ve received some nice comments from you about how this e-newsletter helps keep you in touch. Among other comments, you’ve thanked us for spelling chile correctly. (As if there would be another way!) Most of all you’ve helped us know that we’re on the right track.
