As the state's land-grant university, NMSU serves the educational needs of New Mexico's diverse population through comprehensive programs of education, research, extension education, and public service. We believe our alumni and friends of the university want to be a part of that mission, and we provide a setting to do just that. Within University Advancement you can find the NMSU Foundation, Inc., the Aggie Athletic Club, and the NMSU Alumni Association, each ready to enhance an on-going private and public partnership that helps NMSU achieve a new level of excellence.
