| The
Hart Senate Office Building in Washington DC was the venue
for a gathering of approximately 250 New Mexicans on March
10. Together with UNM President Louis Caldera,
the UNM Alumni Association sponsored a reception honoring
the New Mexico Congressional delegation.
Congressional members received
Jemez Pueblo pots with the UNM emblem that had been specially
commissioned by the Association. US Senator Jeff
Bingaman and the wife of US Rep. Tom
Udall attended, along with staff members of the
other New Mexico offices.
More than 200 Washington DC area alumni enjoyed
the opportunity to visit the Capitol. A large delegation from
UNM made the trip to Washington as well, including UNM President
Caldera, five UNM Regents, all but one vice president, and
numerous deans. Alumni
Association representatives included the Association's
president and his wife, Steve and Jane Bacchus,
executive director Karen Abraham, and associate
director Charlene Chavez. Senator Bingaman
congratulated the staff on the event's success.
