From the President Dear Greyhound Nation, 2018 has begun in spectacular fashion. The short (30- day) 2018 legislative session proved to be very beneficial to ENMU. As I write, the budget that was approved by the Legislature includes: • A four percent redistribution of the budget and a two percent increase, which should provide us with some $705,000 in new recurring state appropriation. • A two percent salary increase for our faculty and staff. • Approval of an $8 million General Obligation (GO) Bond for phase one of the Roosevelt Science Center renovation. This will be put before New Mexico voters in November. • $100,000 for Athletics (a partial replacement of funds previously swept from them over the past few years). • $190,000 in capitol outlay funds from the Severance Tax Bonds for paving, creating sidewalks and lighting around Greyhound Stadium and Greyhound Arena. None of our success at the legislature would have been possible without the guidance and support of our eastern New Mexico legislators. Especially, senators Sen. Stuart Ingle, Sen. Pat Woods, Sen. Gay Kernan, Sen. Carroll Leavell and Sen. Jim Burt, as well as Rep. George Dodge, Rep. Randy Crowder and Rep. Dennis Roch. Rep. Roch who is also superintendent of the Logan Municipal Schools, will be delivering the commencement address on May 12, altogether fitting for our alumnus and retiring legislator, who has dedicated his life to education. On campus, the Golden Student Success Center is on schedule and under budget, with the grand opening scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 28. And speaking of student success, we graduated 491 students on Dec. 16, 2017, the largest ever Fall Commencement. Our new graduates are the reason we exist, to help students realize their personal dreams and to create the future leaders for our state, our country and our world. Thank you again for your continued support. With great respect, J.S. Elwell, President Eastern New Mexico University Green & Silver | April 2018 3
