Aggies at War

2019 marks the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion and subsequent actions in which several NMCA &MA students participated, were wounded, or lost their lives. Drawing upon documents from the files of Dean of Engineering Daniel Jett, College Registrar Era Rentfrow, and the University Archives Photograph Collection, we will commemorate the contributions of these students.

Architectural Drawings

In 1936 the School of Engineering - headed at that time by Dean Hugh M. Milton—introduced an art and architecture curriculum and hired a talented Cornell and Yale-trained architect, George Scott Gleason, as its instructor.

Celebrating Women's History Month

NMSU Library Archives and Special Collections has created an online exhibition featuring some of the remarkable women who have made an impact on the history of the university and the surrounding community.

The student unrest that bubbled to the surface at NMSU during the 1960s and 1970s was far from the rioting, destruction of property, and violence raging elsewhere in the country.
