College enrollment in New Mexico has grown for the second consecutive year, with a 4.2% increase this spring compared to the same time in 2024. More than 5,000 additional students are now pursuing degrees and certificates across the state’s higher education institutions. This ongoing trend is attributed to New Mexico’s tuition-free college programs, such as the Opportunity and Lottery scholarships, which support recent high school graduates and returning adult learners by covering full tuition and course-specific fees at public colleges and universities throughout New Mexico.

Once a year, starting in 2008, Rio Grande cutthroat trout fingerlings (young fish about the length of a finger) embark on an expedition, trekking all the way down to the Rio Grande Gorge. I know what you’re thinking – no, they didn’t grow a pair of legs. Instead, they received a little help from their friends: New Mexicans who passionately believe in conservation.

“Her Land: Women in Agriculture” exhibit is coming May 12th from the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Museum to the Governor’s Gallery in Santa Fe. “Her Land: Women in Agriculture” is a rotating exhibit at New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Women hold a pivotal yet often overlooked role in New Mexico’s agricultural history. These women manage farms, preserve cultural traditions, and pioneer sustainable practices. Their resilience and expertise continue to shape the agricultural landscape of New Mexico.

The New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs (NMDCA) invites New Mexicans to the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) in Albuquerque for readings of the winning and honorable mention poems from the 2025 DCA Ekphrastic Poetry Contest. April is National Poetry Month, and this reading brings New Mexicans across the state together to celebrate their love of artwork and poetry.
