President Hector Balderas, alongside Student Senate President Jasie Green, Director of Continuing & Adult Education Cecilia Romero, and Director of Career & Technical Education Frank Loera, shared their insights on how NNMC is committed to changing lives through education. “Northern New Mexico College is not just a place where we create opportunity, but I would encourage all of us to think of it as a harm reduction strategy as well,” President Balderas stated. During the presentation, President Balderas reported notable successes, including a 13% increase in enrollments for the current semester and a 12% increase in the previous semester. He also highlighted the college's achievement of its first unmodified clean audit in ten years, which underscores the institution's financial integrity and growth.Milam ShahAmy Peña, Executive Office Directoramy.pena@nnmc.edu
