September 2009

Fall semester ushers in a new season, a new group of students, and quite often, a pleasant breeze of change. UNM's Dean of Students G. Randy Boeglin is pleased to inform parents and families that the UNM Parent Relations Office and UNM Parent Association will now be units in the Dean of Students Office, the entity on campus that also oversees LOBO Orientation for incoming freshmen as well as the Family Connection orientation for parents and family members.

Lobos on the employment trail head for UNM’s Engineering and Science Career Fair Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A Business Career Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Both events will be held at the UNM Student Union Building Ballrooms.

Your child is in college. Can you believe it? Doesn't it seem like just yesterday you applauded the very first toddling steps? And now look at those giant strides. Good job! You have raised a scholar. I'm sure you also watched out for their health all these years, kissed their boo-boos and took them to the doctor for their shots. They're all up to date and ready to go out and face the world, right? Are you sure?
