Letter To The Editor: Look Under The Hood And Find UNM-LA Produces Students Who Succeed

By STEVE BOERIGTER
Chair, UNM-LA Advisory Board

I plan to vote “YES” for the UNM-LA Mil Levy election in January. True, as chair of the UNM-LA Advisory Board, this position probably isn’t a surprise to anyone.

In 2010, after completing a year of Leadership Los Alamos, we were challenged to find our passion to go make a difference. I opted to run for the UNM-LA Advisory Board. You elected me to that position in 2011. I knew UNM-LA provided a quality education at a great price, but I also felt that UNM-LA could be much more than it was, maybe too much “UNM” and not enough “LA”. 

I believed then (as I do Read More

Pastor Raul: Fearless Hope

Fearless Hope
By Pastor Raul Granillo
 
I’ve been a Cubs fan since I was about 3-years-old. When people would ask why I liked the Cubs, I would tell them that it taught humility.
