Job Function: Teaching
Employer: New Mexico State University
Location: Las Cruces, NM
Description:
New Mexico was still a territory when Las Cruces College opened the doors of its two-room building in the fall of 1888. In 1889, the New Mexico territorial legislature authorized the creation of an agricultural college and experiment station in or near Las Cruces. The institution, which was designated as the land-grant college for New Mexico under the Morrill Act, was named the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
Las Cruces College merged with N.M.A.&M.A., and the new school opened on January 21, 1890. That first semester there were 35 students in the college level and preparatory classes and six faculty members. By 1960, the school had grown greatly, and its name was changed by state constitutional amendment to New Mexico State University. Today New Mexico State University sits on a 900-acre campus and enrolls 15,409 students from all 50 states and from 87 nations. Regular faculty members number 674 and staff, 2,788.
