WNMU to Name Deming Education Center after Former Senator John Arthur Smith
SILVER CITY/DEMING – The Western New Mexico University Board of Regents met on Thursday, March 28 on campus in Silver City.
WNMU President Dr. Joseph Shepard and Faculty Senate President Scott Smith, reported that currently 70% of university classes are taught online, while 20% are taught face-to-face, and 10% are taught in a hybrid format.
The faculty are forming a committee to assess whether the number and kind of face-to-face classes are appropriately meeting student needs.
In his report to the board, President Shepard noted that the university is up 24% in applications over the same time last year.
The board also voted unanimously to accept a recommendation from President Shepard to keep tuition at its present rate for the coming academic year. Shepard noted the WNMU is likely the only university in the state to have an overall reduction in combined tuition and fees this year.
The board voted unanimously to accept a proclamation naming the new WNMU Deming center the John Arthur and Janette Smith Educational Center.
