Dear Counselor,

Thank you for all you do for students. The guidance you provide them is essential to their future personal and professional success. Without you, many of them would have difficulty finding their direction in life. As president, I am happy to provide you our Counselor’s Guide with information needed to assist your students who choose to attend Eastern New Mexico University.

ENMU is known for its personal touch, accredited academic programs and our affordable cost. Our slogan is “Student Success–that’s what it’s all about” so whatever your students’ goals and aspirations, we will do everything we can to help them achieve success. We have student-centered faculty and staff where the

student truly comes first. ENMU has maintained a 95 percent student satisfaction rate and ranked one of the highest among New Mexico universities each year since 1999.

For the 19th straight year, ENMU set a fall enrollment record with 5,946 students. Our tuition is in the top 10 percent of the most affordable southwestern four-year universities, and the ACT scores of our incoming freshmen are above the state average. We have upgraded our campus with over $150 million in construction projects-including constructing or renovating state-of-the-art classroom buildings, athletic facilities and a new residence hall. In addition, our new on-campus football/track stadium will be inaugurated with our first home game on Sept. 10, 2016.

When our students need to take a break, they find numerous student organizations to provide them with leadership opportunities, service projects and camaraderie. With our well-respected College of Fine Arts, Associated Student Activities Board and Multicultural Affairs, ENMU hosts a busy schedule of theatre, music and art productions, as well as concerts, speakers and ethnic events that are free or reduced cost for students. Our religious organizations and fraternities and sororities are also a vital part of our campus community.

As a member of the Lone Star Conference and Southwest Region National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, our student-athletes have experienced numerous championships. In 2015, our football team finished in third place in possibly the toughest conference in NCAA Division II and our men’s and women’s rodeo teams continue to excel at the national level. Our student-athletes achieve a higher graduation rate than the student body as a whole. For your students who want to enjoy an active lifestyle, our intramural program offers sports based on skill level and competitiveness. Students are able to choose from various intramural activities throughout the school year.

Thank you again for all you do for your students. Included you will find our contact information. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Steven GambleENMU President

The Crossroads Café Dining Hall offers students an ultimate dining experience at an affordable price. The all-you-can-

eat meal plan allows students to choose from eight different dining stations serving a variety of choices. There are

always the essentials including pizza and burgers. Specialty stations include Pasta Perfect, South of the Border and the

Classics Comfort food. For students wanting a lighter meal, our garden fresh salad bar has over two dozen toppings, two

kinds of soups and a made-to-order sandwich bar.

ENMU residency policy helps assure that your students get a good start to their college career. New students who

have less than 30 hours of college credit after high school graduation and are under 21 years old are required to live on

campus and purchase a meal plan. Exemptions to the residential/meal plan requirement may be granted to students

living with parents, married and/or having dependent children. Meal plan waivers may be granted to students with

medical needs not met by the meal plan provider.

Living on campus can contribute significantly to your students’ success in college. They will meet people who will

become lifelong friends. They will have the chance to learn new things about themselves, about living and working

with others, and about being part of a community and its traditions. Living on campus gives students the chance to get

involved beyond the walls of their classrooms, as a variety of programs are planned throughout the year. These may be

social, recreational, cultural or educational activities that give students a chance to meet people and learn new things.

They will find just the environment needed in our three residence halls and West Campus Apartments. San Juan Village

conveniently is located on campus property and independently managed.

ENMU is very proud of our student-athletes. The halls of Greyhound Arena are filled with the names of students

selected for All-American, All-Region and All-Conference teams, as well as the Academic All-Star Team

recognition. ENMU’s Greyhounds compete in the Lone Star Conference and in the Southwest Region National

Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

ENMU has a long and proud history of success. Our athletics have achieved national championships in basketball,

rodeo and track. Numerous conference championships have been claimed in the nationally respected Lone Star

Conference. Several ENMU student-athletes have continued on to professional careers. Best of all, student-athletes

at ENMU achieve a higher graduation rate than the student body as a whole. Academic and athletic successes

characterize Eastern’s student-athletes.

With intramural sports, great skills are not necessary to enjoy an active lifestyle. To encourage participation, most of our

activities are offered in divisions based on skill and competitiveness, allowing students to choose an appropriate level of

play. Activities include flag football, volleyball, dodgeball, soccer, basketball, kickball, softball and many other sports.
