Hi Merryl! Great to see you.

Thanks, Shay. You too!

can you hear him?

sure can

got it...

Has anything been decided on students coming back to campus?

https://www.nmhu.edu/plans-for-reopening-highlands-campus-stress-health-and-safety/

How about we be intentional about anti-racism training.

Yes, Ruthy, we need to do that.

Thanks Sarah! I know you get it :-)

We also need to hire more administrators of color.

Please consider including real face-to-face converations in that training. Readings and videos only go so far.

Absolutely, Dr. Watson. And we should make sure the person(s) doing the training get proper compensation for their time and work.

True Katie and Merryl. Great points and so true.

ZOOM can substitute for face-to-face conversations. Please discuss this issue with the instructional designer. I can't remember her name but she's based in Rio Rancho.

Sorry, yes, Zoom = f2f. I just meant that it should be two-way.

I hear Edward has been tasked with addressing the issue of diversity and inclusion for real now

I think that some of the activities are best suited for face to face, some for ZOOM.

Synchronous courses can function like F2F...Asychronous teaching and learning needs more interactivity planned.

Hello please I am have been admitted to persue MS in Chemistry for the fall. I am from Ghana will the reopening be postponed.

The name of the instructional designer is Patricia Miera.

Any one coming to NM needs to quarantine for 14 days. this also counts for athletes. Need to plan ahead of time

Let's look at what we are talking about "Diversity" vs."Racism" Many people like to say diversity and leave out anti-racism work

Acer, you need to ask that from the graduate coordinator of your program

Diversity makes it sound nice and cozy. It's much more than that and we need to get serious about it.

True Dr. Watson. :) That's where alternative assessments can come into play for those teaching online, synchronous or asynchronous.

I agree Cathryn. I've taught online, hybrid, and face to face. So I understand all of the modalities.

I also agree Dr. Watson that we need to do more and get serious about diversity, inclusion, and equity.

What about track athletes?

Certainly anti-racism work is at the heart of diversity, no question about it

One person should not, and cannot, be in charge of addressing racism/diversity. I hope that is not the university’s plan.

What about the Vatos?

There is a whole committee that works on that. Edward would be the administration person working on that

I agree absolutely Gloria! Thank you for that!

Coordinated work on antiracism should happen at many levels and many modalities. We need some strategies to strengthen our commitment to this.

thanks for clarifying Jesus

The DEIC should be involved in that as well. They should be consulting with Edward on those ideas and plans

Right now we are down 16% total enrollment when compared to the same time last year.

Benito, is that reduction for both undergraduate and graduate?

Yes

That's typical around the country. I believe that the number will improve as the economy remains depressed. Just need to hang in there...

I hope the local police will take advantage of the expertise at this university as they seek reform.

Nevermind...Imissed the key word, "total."

Good idea Gloria. And the university police as well.

Yes, Gloria

The embassies are closed here in Ghana and I don't know how to apply for a visa for the fall program. Please I need help

Bless me Ultima will forever be a staple in NM literature

Thank you to all. I am so excited to join the family!

Welcome Veena and Mary

Yes, it is

it is!

Welcome, Mary. Looking forward to meeting you and working together to support our students.

Mr. President I am a little late logging on but will school be starting at the campus on online in August?

Model depend on their assumptions!!!

The wrong set of assumptions will produce ANY results

Good point Jesus!

Herd immunity is the Wall Street position. Let people die and save the economy

All we need is one or two students with Covid to enter the residence halls and there is a potential outbreak.

I have never seen that in the WSJ Jesus. And I read it every day,

Everybody knew there would be spikes after the premature reopening. People are acting as if it was something unexpected. That was the ONLY thing that could have happened

I did not say the journal. I meant the banksters

When that happens who is responsible?

Noted.

He should contact the Graduate Studies Office...I will help him.

ACER PC-sent you an email.

Mr Benito please your email

Will there be trainings, Adam?

good work purchasing and ITS

same question - will we get training

Congrats

Good Job Adam and to your team

bmpacheco@nmhu.edu

Yes, we will be providing training. Also, there is a Chrome River link in MYPortal. On the Chrome River home page, there is a HELP section with How to Guides

Yes $500.00

Adam, it would be more helpful to have a session on how these processes, which have typically been done by paper travel requests and vouchers, will translate into Chrome River. Pointing folks to a “help” link is not specific to conversion of NMHU processes to Chrome River processes.

Adam, a print tutorial would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you sir!

@ Acer....bmpacheco@nmhu.edu

please I have responded to the email

THanks folks!!!

A Global will be sent to Campus Community with details. We will have several training modalities (Zoom, paper, tutorials)
