Supporting Undergraduate Excellence at UNM

It's an exciting time at UNM with the President's Club growing into a circle of the state's top business and community leaders. University and civic leadership are positioning UNM as a premier force for education and economic development in New Mexico...and President’s Club funds are vital to that process.

The active involvement and financial support of President’s Club members have been the catalyst for initiatives which provide extraordinary undergraduate opportunities at the University. The thriving Freshman Learning Communities (FLCs), which have led to dramatic improvements in the success rates of first year students at UNM, were created with President's Club gifts. The FLCs are now fully funded by the University budget, and President's Club gifts are currently funding three exciting undergraduate programs: the Research Service Learning Program, increased UNM study abroad opportunities, and D.C. congressional internship positions.

President's Club members enjoy social events, recognition on a permanent plaque housed at the University and access to many campus resources. Mainly, President's Club members enjoy being part of an influential community team which makes excellent undergraduate opportunities possible for UNM students.

Members of the President's Club contribute a minimum annual gift of $5,000 to UNM; $2,500 of this is allocated to the President's Fund for Academic Excellence, with the remainder either added to the President's Fund as well or designated according to the interests of the donor. Examples of donor designations include specific colleges, schools or departments at UNM, student scholarships, Popejoy Hall, Lobo athletics and UNM Health Sciences components like the UNM Cancer Center or Children's Hospital.
