Everyone is an Aggie

You might have a spouse or a child who attended NMSU.

You might have grown up here and gone to Homecoming every year.

You might be new to the Las Cruces community.

But the Aggies are part of Las Cruces. And if you’re here, you are part of us.

How NMSU Impacts the Las Cruces Community

Teachers. Doctors. Architects and engineers. Civic leaders. Actors and artists. Neighbors and friends.

NMSU gives students from every background and every economic level the chance to explore their talents and make an impact on the world.

We provide opportunity. Las Cruces provides a home.

Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier, more sustainable community.

says Colin Bell ’24, a recent NMSU graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration.
