Stokes delivers State of the University on campus climate, safety and engagement

‘There may, at times, be no message’

By Karina Bolaños @DailyLobo

On Monday, March 4, Garnett Stokes, President of the University of New Mexico, gave her annual State of the University address. She reflected on UNM’s past as it embarks on its future with discussions of safety, student success and overall campus climate at the forefront of her speech.

Stokes discussed several avenues of achievement across campus, including student and alumni achievements and campus connections. She also touched on safety and scarcity.

“Before we talk about the future, it is our responsibility to honor the past,” Stokes said.

Student Success and Engagement

Stokes discussed UNM’s status as a Carnegie Research-1 Institution, alongside being a minority-majority school. She detailed student research and engagement, including Artificial Intelligence advancements, quantum information science and engineering, dry land innovation within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields.

At UNM’s new Accelerating Resilience Innovations in Drylands (ARID) Institute, researchers and staff are currently “working to ensure human societies can sustainably thrive and grow in arid places,” Stokes said.

Each of these innovations serve as parts of UNM’s five 2040 goals, designed to build and shape the future of UNM, Stokes said.

She also discussed the in-

crease in the number of firstyear students during the past two school years, both breaking the school’s record for the largest incoming first-year class. Stokes did not address that.

To accommodate the larger class sizes, the University’s Freshman Residency Requirement arranged for UNM Resident Life and Student Housing to convert several double rooms into triples.

Stokes also did not mention the lack of affordable housing for and near the UNM community. Data gathered by UNM’s Basic Needs Survey found “43.6% of respondents were housing insecure in the previous 12 months.”

Stokes also discussed the creation of project Coordinated Help in Lobo Experience (CHILE) – a portal that will allow students to get in contact

with the appropriate staff or faculty to address their needs.

“(Project CHILE will) be a portal that provides students with a guided and interactive pathway with quick access to all sorts of help,” Stokes said.

Campus Climate and Public Safety

Regarding the campus climate, Stokes mentioned campus climate surveys that were created with an aim to gain more insight on student and faculty experience. She did not specify the results of the surveys.

“As a result, we’ve been pleased to support our new initiatives for greater diversity, postdoc, faculty hiring and in mentoring for our students,” Stokes said.

Stokes also spoke about the

ASUNM Presidential candidate: Julián Ángel

By Arly Garcia @DailyLobo

Associated Students at the University of New Mexico Presidential Candidate Julián Ángel (ballot #1) is a junior studying Chicanx and Latin American Studies.

Ángel was inspired to run for ASUNM President because he believes the ASUNM President’s position to UNM’s diversity, student support services and connection to state legislation provides tools to improve the Lobo experience through a community effort, he said.

“Each of us truly defines all of us. To be a community member is to be kind, move with grace and be dedicated to la causa,” Ángel said.

During his time at UNM, Ángel has been involved with El Centro de la Raza, the New Student Orientation Program and the College Assistance Migrant Program, according to Ángel’s campaign Instagram.

In his letter from November, Ángel also wrote he is committed to addressing issues surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion at ASUNM, and he worked to create “culturally relevant programs to support Latinx students,” while serving as a Program Assistant at El Centro.

“ASUNM urgently needs a more comprehensive evaluation process for such positions, prioritizing qualifications and cultural sensitivity, particularly within Ethnic Studies,” Ángel wrote in a letter to the editor submitted to the Daily

Lobo in November.

Within ASUNM, Ángel has served as El Centro’s Joint Council Representative, Finance Senator and the Outreach and Events Chair.

Ángel’s academic experience includes research as a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow an El Puente Research Fellow and a Rural Student Project Scholar. His research interests include educational policy, Latinx-serving institutions and migrant and rural education, according to his campaign Instagram.

Raised in the Hatch Valley, Ángel described himself as “a product of the tireless labor that is worked in the Valley.” Ángel is also a first-generation Chicano in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, and said that this experince informed him of the “importance of Ethnic studies and how we can advance UNM’s low-income, first-generation, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous People of color) communities to ensure retention rates at the flagship of the southwest.”

The most important issue for ASUNM to address in the upcoming academic year is food scarcity and the inflation of basic necessities at UNM, which can be addressed at the state level, via lobbying the state legislation for funds, Ángel said.

If Ángel is elected, he would make a “legislative push to increase food options on campus and advocate for social workers who specialize in food access and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),” he said.

ASUNM’s elections begin Wednesday, March 20 at 9 a.m. and close on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m., according to the ASUNM Elections Commission. Polling locations have yet to be announced.

ASUNM Presidential and Vice Presidential elections: Gabriel Gurulé and Crystal Nguyen

By Nate Bernard @DailyLobo

Gabriel Gurulé (ballot #2) and Crystal Nguyen (#1) are running for the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico President and Vice President, respectively, and bringing experience and integrity to the position, Nguyen said.

If elected, their presidency would center around experience, safety, sustainability and development, according to their campaign Instagram profile.

Gurulé has been an ASUNM Senator for four semesters while Nguyen has been a senator for two. They have both held various positions within the Senate, such as Gurulé as President Pro Tempore in fall 2023 and Nguyen as the current Steering and Rules Committee Vice Chair.

“I feel like I’ve learned as much as I can about ASUNM to prepare me for this role … I’ve got my foot in the door. There’s definitely still a lot more to learn about leadership, but at least enough to be able to run ASUNM and keep it functioning, whether that’s working through conflicts or making long term

plans,” Gurulé said.

As a senator, Gurulé recently worked with Lobo Spirit to establish a new position within ASUNM called “the project coordinator” who documents Lobo Spirit events and creates guides for future events. This position will help maintain the quality of events through the constant transitions that ASUNM undergoes, Gurulé said.

Nguyen has consistently worked to better the community through volunteering with Albuquerque Public Schools and her old high school, she said. She is running for Vice President out of a love for public service and desire to continue helping people, Nguyen said.

Gurulé and Nguyen’s goals include increasing safety on campus through a request from the New Mexico State Legislature for greater security funding. They plan to increase cameras and lighting, especially in South Lot, Gurulé said.

On-campus motor vehicle theft increased by 55% from 2019 to 2022, according to UNM’s 2023 Annual Security & Fire Safety Report.

“We want to station either police or security at the bus stops both here on main campus, and then also at the satellite lots, just to ensure that, in case anything were to happen, we have someone who’s already on site,” Gurulé said.

Gurulé and Nguyen also plan to expand sustainability projects at UNM during their presidency. Among these projects are Ozzi-Boxes, which were recently implemented at Mandalay Express at the Student Union Building, Gurulé said. Ozzi-Boxes are reusable to-go food containers that reduce trash waste, according to UNM’s Sustainability Studies Program.

They also plan to push UNM to divest from oil investments. If elect-

ASUNM Presidential and Vice Presidential elections: Galen Oston and Tivon Oston

By Jaymes Boe & Maddie Pukite

@DailyLobo & @maddogpukite

Brothers Galen Oston (ballot #3) and Tivon Oston (#4) hope to bring changes to the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico in the upcoming spring elections.

Running as brothers allows them to complement the skills the other brings to the table, Tivon Oston said. Neither of them has prior experience in ASUNM, which is something they want to use to their advantage to bring an outside perspective and change to the institution as a whole.

“I think there’s no way around the fact that there needs to be changes,” Galen Oston said.

They both support the idea of leading sit-ins – student-led protests that would stop the day-to-day functions at UNM to leverage the student body as a whole to force negotiations and create change, alongside voicing concerns directly to the Board of Regents and President, Tivon Oston and Galen Oston said.

“If you’re helping to lead sit-ins and helping to push the true student struggles and agendas, there’s a lot of political ones, but there’s also just the day-to-day. Anyone you talk to –

Presidential and Vice Presidential elections:

Isabel Castañeda and Ria Schultz

By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander

Isabel Castañeda (ballot #4) and Ria Schultz (#2) are vying for the roles of President and Vice President of the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico, respectively, with a primary focus on improving campus inclusivity and accessibility.

Castañeda — who has been involved in ASUNM for a year — currently serves as the director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Schultz is ASUNM’s President Pro Tempore and has held various Senate positions over the past three years.

“I think there’s a lot of progress that can be made,” Schultz said. “This past year (has) done a really good job at creating a lot of progress within ASUNM, and I would really like to see that continued.”

Both candidates want to prioritize campus inclusivity and accessibility at the legislative level, where they would have the opportunity to advocate for one-time funding for the University, they said. For example, Castañeda said she would request money to add more braille to buildings across campus.

“Accessibility-wise, it’s a bit more tricky just because it goes through a lot more hoops than just trying to make sure we’re constantly in talks with the student body,” Castañeda said. “It goes in talks with President Stokes and Provost Holloway, and also the State.”

Castañeda wants to increase the accessibility of the pathways through campus, particularly for students who are visually impaired, she said.

Schultz would utilize connections she has within the Dean of Students office to receive assistance with determining additional avenues of funding for campus accessibility, she said.

“Obviously, ensuring the entirety of campus is accessible is a really big task. I think they would have a good idea on where to get that funding,” Schultz said.

Castañeda’s other presidential priorities would include increasing access to fresh produce on campus and continuing the relationships ASUNM has with other campus entities, she said. Castañeda cited Joint Council as one example of such a relationship. Joint Council is made up of student representatives from different areas of campus who provide ASUNM with feedback on University initiatives and ASUNM business, according to their website.

She and Schultz are currently the Speaker and the Vice Chair of the Council, respectively.

“(Joint Council has) representatives from all over campus — whether that’s schools, colleges, resource centers, even residence housing,” Castañeda said. “And I think (we’re) going to continue that — maybe even grow it to more student organizations or different areas of student life here on campus.”

Makayla Otero

By Maria Fernandez @DailyLobo

Makayla Otero (ballot #5) is a junior at the University of New Mexico pursuing a dual degree in political science and psychology. She has also served as President of the Pre-Law Society and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

Otero said she was first inspired to run for the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico Presidential election her freshman year when she was first involved in ASUNM. Otero first served as an Associate Justice before taking on the Chief Justice role this school year.

Otero’s judicial background has taught her how to understand the ASUNM law book and constitution, as well as putting aside personal feelings in order to focus on the facts, she wrote.

“We have a job to represent the students with personal feelings aside, and my administration will focus on that,” she wrote.

Otero is proud of the work ASUNM has accomplished during her time, and wants to expand ASUNM’s community outreach, including holding more forums to give students a chance to speak directly with ASUNM leaders. She seeks to increase ASUNM’s engagement with student organizations, as well as sports and Greek life, she said.

“We currently have some amazing leaders in office who have taken the time to get to know people, and I want to continue that legacy,” Otero said.

If elected, Otero’s work as President would be geared toward three goals: community, accessibility and safety, she said. Community has been an important part of her experience at UNM, Otero said. After consulting with UNM students, she wants to improve the environment on campus so that students who feel isolated can feel included.

“I believe UNM has so much life, so much going on, and we come from different backgrounds of life and have many differences. But the one thing we all have in common is that we’re Lobos, and we should be there to support one another, love one another and just have fun together,” Otero said. She will have an open-door policy as President so any student can visit with her and advocate for areas they would like to see changes in, she said. “I want to support student organizations and help them learn how to utilize ASUNM as many do not know about the process to get support from ASUNM,” Otero wrote Otero also wants to address accessibility issues on campus to help students with disabilities feel more included and respected, she said.

In the state legislature, along with advocating for student scholarships, Otero plans to advocate for capital outlay to increase accessibility in campus bathrooms and classrooms. She also wants to work toward adding braille around UNM, she wrote.

Safety has been one of the biggest parts of Makayla’s campaign, she said.

“The number one concern I have been hearing from students is about safety. We spend so much time on campus, and we should be able to feel safe,” Otero said.

She plans to advocate for legislative funding to add more security cameras and better lighting on campus.

She also wants to put more focus

ASUNM Presidential and Vice Presidential elections: Anthony Tomaziefski and Mutazz (Tazz) Jaber

By Karina Bolaños & Maddie Pukite @DailyLobo & @ maddogpukite

Two current senators for the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico, Anthony Tomaziefski (ballot #6) and Mutazz (Tazz) Jaber (#3,) are running for ASUNM President and Vice President, respectively, focusing on accessibility, safety, involvement and outreach.

Tomaziefski and Jaber’s campaign centers on education and student outreach to address their concerns surrounding the lack of accessibility on campus, safety and bridging the gap between students – specifically Greek Life – and ASUNM, they said.

“Although we’d be the ones in office, the office would be all of ours. We want to ensure that (there is) transparency within our administration and (that) the decisions we are making are backed with the

CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP

Men’s basketball: Conference champions Lobos head to March Madness

By Thomas Bulger @thomasbulger10

The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team earned their first Mountain West Championship since 2014. Over Spring Break, the Lobos won four games in four days to secure a spot in March Madness. The championship run was the result of a balanced effort from the team but was fueled by Tournament MVP Jaelen House.

Three Lobos were named to the All-Tournament Team: House, Jamal Mashburn Jr. and JT Toppin.

Going into the NCAA tournament, the Lobos have a 26-9 overall record, and we’re ranked No. 11.

The team also finished with many Regular Season honors. Toppin and Donovan Dent were named to the All-Conference Second Team and House made the Third Team and AllDefensive Team. Mustapha Amzil shared the Sixth Man of the Year Award with Utah State’s Josh Uduje and Toppin shared Freshman of the Year with UNLV’s Dedan Thomas Jr.

The Lobos won the conference tournament 68-61 against San Diego

State. The Aztecs were the Lobos’ greatest challenge of the tournament. After a hot start and holding Conference Player of The Year, Jaedon LeDee, to seven points in the first half. The Lobos led 36-30 going into halftime.

The Aztecs took the lead 44-43 with 12:12 left in the game. After four lead changes, LeDee grabbed a pair of free throws for the Aztecs to bring them up to 59-57 with 5:35 remaining, and they would not score again until there were 23 seconds on the clock.

The Lobos’ played stifling defense and, thanks to clutch free throws from House, Nelly Junior Joseph and Toppin, the Lobos pulled away for the win.

UNM had three players in double-digit scoring. House led the team with 28 points and Mashburn Jr. had his best game of the tournament, scoring 21 points including three three-pointers. Toppin had another double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

In the first game of the tournament, the Lobos avenged their regular season loss to the Air Force Academy. The 82-56 victory had a balanced

offense from UNM with four players in double-digit scoring. They were led by Toppin who had a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Dent had a near double-double with eight points and nine assists. House finished with 16 points.

The second game was much closer but the Lobos beat Boise State, 76-66, for the first time this season. House and Dent were the only Lobos in double-digit scoring and dominated, scoring 29 and 22 points respectively.

In the third game, the Lobos defeated Colorado State 74-61. The balanced offense returned in this game; House had 19 points, eight assists, five rebounds and 0 turnovers. Toppin nearly finished with another double-double with 16 points and nine rebounds. The game started at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time and the Lobos had another quick turnaround having to play the Championship Game at 4:00 p.m. the next day.

Through the first three games, UNM had been in control. They played their swarming defense and were able to play with a high pace

Women’s basketball: an early loss in Las Vegas

By Thomas Bulger @thomasbulger10

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team suffered a 67-56 loss to the San Diego State Aztecs in the Mountain West Conference tournament. The game took place on Monday, March 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Lobos were the No. 2 seed facing the No. 6 seed Aztecs.

The Lobos did finish the season with multiple regular season honors. Backcourt duo Aniyah Augmon and Nyah Wilson were both named to the All-Conference Team. Augmon also earned the conference’s

Defensive Player of the Year Award and made the All-Defensive Team. Wilson earned the Newcomer of the Year Award and Head Coach Mike Bradbury was awarded with Coach of the Year.

Shooting struggles is what prevented UNM from taking a lead in the game. As a team, they shot 20-51 from the field, 3-17 from the threepoint line and 13-21 on free throws.

The Lobos had two players in double-digit scoring. Wilson scored 22 points and Augmon had 10 points and seven rebounds. Hulda Joaquim had a good game off the bench, scoring nine points on 4-4 shooting and

grabbed five rebounds.

The Aztecs were coming off their win against San José State the day prior and appeared to stay warmed up, starting the game on a 7-0 run.

The Lobos missed their first 10 three-point attempts in the game and had difficulty scoring all game.

At halftime, the Lobos were down 39-28 and scored seven points in the third quarter. UNM maintained their defense throughout the game but a late offensive surge wasn’t enough to propel them to victory.

It is unlikely that the Lobos will be invited to a postseason tournament with a NET ranking of 152. The Pit

and get into their transition offense. Once the Lobos earned a lead, they had refused to give it up and only trailed 42 seconds throughout this point of the tournament.

On the court, House was interviewed on the CBS broadcast and made a simple claim on how the team was able to win the conference.

“We want it more. We (are) playing for something more, that’s what happened,” House said. The Lobos’ No. 11 will play against No. 6 the Clemson University Tigers at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN on Friday, March 22.

This will be House’s first NCAA tournament and Richard Pitino’s first as a Lobo and since the 2018-19 season with Minnesota. This will also be the first March Madness for nearly a generation of Lobo fans.

will also be unavailable this upcoming weekend due to Professional Bull Riding’s Ty Murray Invitational.

UNM will likely have the option to participate in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament but would have to pay to be invited and participate in an interview with the Albuquerque Journal Athletic Director Eddie Nuñez said he’s not a fan of pay-to-play tournaments.

“I’m not a fan of paying to play in a tournament,” he said, “especially one that’s not considered one of the top two tiers. There are exceptions. You always want to consider whether playing benefits your team or your athletic program. Not having The Pit available and knowing we’d probably have to travel weighs into it, too.”

Basic Needs Survey conducted last year, addressing the insecurities of students, staff and faculty.

“67% of the individuals who completed the survey experience some form of basic needs insecurity,” Stokes said.

Since the survey, the Basic Needs Research Project has facilitated a roundtable discussion with United States Representative Gabe Vasquez (D) to discuss student eligibility for federal programs, she said.

Other programs created to address food insecurity, Stokes mentioned, include the implementation of LoboEats – an app created to redistribute leftover food from events on campus –and the Lobo Food Pantry. The 2023

Basic Needs Survey found that 40% of students, faculty and staff were food insecure.

A large part of Stokes’ address dealt with safety.

“We’ve engaged with our community and with Albuquerque police to support APD’s new University area command substation to ensure more dedicated coverage of the UNM campus community by the 40 full-time officers working from this facility,” Stokes said.

Until October, the UNM Police Department failed to comply with the federal Clery Act to provide an updated and informative Daily Crime Log and timely notifications of crime on campus. Without ac-

knowledging this specifically, Stokes did address the lack of information in LoboAlerts and the unease that can create for students.

“We know we can do a better job of communicating with you about the improvements happening in our community. For example, while LoboAlerts is required by law to keep you advised of instances on or near campus, we know a lot of them lack context and often closure,” Stokes said.

The Department of Transportation recently granted UNM $2 million annually to “determine ways to make our campus and other campuses in the nation safer and more accommodating to bike traffic and pedestrians,”

Stokes said.

New Mexico had the highest rate of pedestrian deaths in the U.S. from Jan. - June 2023, according to preliminary data from the Governors Highway Safety Association.

Stokes spoke about recent student demands for her public comment on what she described as “what hurts, what offends and what horrifies,” and her decisions to not make institutional statements during closing remarks. “There may, at times, be no message,” Stokes said.

At the Board of Regents Meeting on February 19, public commenters called for UNM to divest from Israel and call for a cease-fire in Gaza, referencing a 1985 resolution that the

Regents created to divest from South Africa in response to the apartheid.

“I recognize that the platform of the president of UNM is one of great privilege and influence, and I do feel there are issues that are important to speak out about, but my decision to weigh in on an issue or an event should be based on its connection to our mission and the impact on our community,” Stokes said.

ed, Gurulé and Nguyen would start working with the State government to create a plan that would change how the Opportunity Scholarship is funded, Gurulé said. Currently largely funded by oil revenues, Gurulé and Nguyen say the scholarship would ideally be funded through by clean energy stocks.

“A big thing that we’ve talked to student organizations about is the divestment of UNM from different funds in oil and gas or other companies that are supporting wars around the globe. One of the things we want to note is that we would push for UNM’s divestment (from oil and gas),” Gurulé said.

Gurulé held a two-year tenure as President of Instite of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and Nguyen served as its Webmaster for a year.

Gurulé and Nguyen’s experience and ability to work together in IEEE persuaded them to run together for the ASUNM Presidency and Vice Presidency, Gurulé said.

“We’ve already learned how to work together, even though we

may not agree on everything,” Gurulé said. “Crystal and I are truly a team, and we really know how to work together. I think that’ll really help us out if we do end up winning the presidency as a label to make sure we not only work together but to work together with the rest of ASUNM and its entities.”

ASUNM’s elections begin Wednesday, March 20 at 9 a.m. and close on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m., according to the ASUNM Elections Commision. Polling locations have yet to be announced.

Prioritizing funds for Student Organizations charted by ASUNM, over the eight Student Service Agencies like Student Special Events and Elections Commission that are operated out of ASUNM, is one of Galen Oston’s prime objectives.

While he doesn’t want to get rid of Red Rally, Galen Oston said he hopes for ASUNM’s spending to be a more direct avenue for change by aiding the student body. Tivon Oston also brought up moving Special Events from Thursdays to Fridays to encourage more attendance.

“Having consistencies that are not there currently with, for example, finances would help the student organizations way more,” Galen Oston said.

“We have done it in a way that doesn’t allow for (ASUNM) to understand the actual connections between both the student orgs and their own finances and data,” Galen Oston said.

The brothers also spoke about their legislative priorities, which include lobbying for campus improvements outside the scope of ASUNM. For example, Galen Oston said he would lobby for increased compensation to graduate student workers.

“A secondary thing I would love to see lobbied for because I’ve done solar (is) using the real estate we have to create a better or closer to net zero energy usage for the campus,” Tivon Oston said.

Through their campaign, the Oston brothers said they hope to bring change throughout the entire student body.

“Too many people have become complacent, both in ASUNM and the student body … I want to be able to kind of reignite that fire that I think we all have, but have kind of suppressed,” Galen Oston said.

“There’s a lack of understanding how much (Student Service Agencies are) actually affecting the student body. For example, with some of the student events, you have some really great events that no one goes to, and you also have some really big events that you don’t have enough support and capacity for those students,” Galen Oston said.

Accessibility of funds for student organizations is something Galen Oston said he would like to improve. He aims to accomplish this through consolidation and standardization of the rules and procedures that he said

“The ways in which (grad students are) getting funded for this work, and how much they’re actually doing, doesn’t make sense,” Galen Oston said.

sees the Senate, which has its own governing body, Schultz said. If elected, Schultz would emphasize ensuring the Senate has the resources it needs to make their ideas heard, she said.

“As much as I think that there’s really awesome priorities I definitely want to push for (in the Senate), I want to make sure that the Senate has availability to make the change that it wants to see on campus,” Schultz said.

Aside from accessibility, the candidates want to use next year’s legislative session to ensure that the Opportunity Scholarship is maintained for students, Schultz said. She also mentioned an outdoor amphitheater project that ASUNM received funding for designing last session, stating she would push to get funding for the actual building of the amphitheater if elected.

“If we’re getting hundreds of thousands of dollars for it, I want to make sure that it’s something we continue on and make sure is actually achievable,” Schultz said.

Regarding the work they have

done in ASUNM so far, Schultz is most proud of legislation she passed, which was designed to increase transparency around appropriations, she said. Casañeda said she is most proud of the work she has done to increase representation in Joint Council.

“Whoever gets in — if it’s us or anyone else — we just want to make sure that all the students are heard, and this campus is becoming more inclusive and accessible and becoming one big, giant community altogether,” Casañeda said.

Otero continued

on Lobo Lift, a student escort program that has yet to come to fruition, giving students the option to call a golf cart for safe travel on UNM’s campus. In 2023, ASUNM received $100,000 from the state legislature to fund the program, according to UNM Newsroom.

“There are a lot of ways we can improve safety. It’ll take time, but we need to start somewhere and those are a couple great places to start,” she wrote.

In deciding on who to include in her Executive Cabinet, Otero plans on hiring students with good work ethics who aren’t afraid to ask or answer questions, work well with others and have a drive to help their peers, she said.

“In ASUNM, you need to be able to ask questions and work with people in the office … I don’t want someone to answer questions with what they think I want to hear. I want to get to know you,” she wrote.

ASUNM’s elections begin Wednesday, March 20 at 9 a.m. and closes on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m., according to the ASUNM Elections Commission. Polling locations have yet to be announced.

entirety of the student body, or as much as we can,” Jaber said.

To address accessibility and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues, Tomaziefski said he wants to build a report of student-identified issues to present to the Board of Regents and UNM President Garnett Stokes to influence the University’s current 2040 inclusive excellence plans.

Cost-free accessibility measures that they could work to implement include rearranging classrooms to make classroom accessibility easier for those who use mobility devices, Jaber said.

“Simple things like the way classrooms are laid out – that’s not anything we’d have to spend any money on. That’s just us communicating with our campus leaders,” Jaber said.

At the state legislature, Tomaziefski hopes to advocate for funds to create a skate park for students on campus, he said. Or, in terms of safety, Tomaziefski said he would advocate for funds to create environmentally friendly lighting on campus.

“A lot of what I hear from other candidates when they speak about safety is (that) if (students are) scared at night, we need more police,” Tomaziefski said. “As someone who is a person of color and understands that their relationship with police is tenuous at times, I don’t think more policing is the solution to our problems. I don’t think more patrolling is the solution to our problems.”

Drawing ideas from the Student Fee Review Board hearing –Tomaziefski also supports the idea of lobbying the legislature for funds to have free feminine hygiene products available campus-wide, expanding on Zimmerman Library’s current services.

The pair are currently finance senators with Tomazskiefski serving as the chair, and they aim to create an understanding of the Finance Budget Hearings and processes to allow more transparency with student fees and funds that directly affect student organizations, Tomazskiefski and Jaber said.

“I’m working on a way to set up a little document or a video explaining the financial disbursement process – explaining what rules exist, explaining limits on funding,”

UNM Art Museum explores identity and nature

By Sadie Hopkins @DailyLobo

Several times per year, The University of New Mexico Art Museum highlights social topics with its installations, ranging from featured exhibits and UNM’s personal permanent selection of artwork to donated pieces.

From now until mid-May, the UNMAM will display “Hindsight Insight 4.0,” a multifaceted exhibit that portrays issues pertinent to college students – including gender, sexuality, race and the environment – using artworks from different concentrations and artistic expressions.

The exhibit includes works from multiple generations, genders, sexualities and artists from UNM and beyond.

In an effort to provide a space for artists to tell their own stories, the curators and organizers – Mary Statzer, jessamyn lovell, Megan Jacobs and graduate student Ellan Luna – have not limited their selections to any corner of the population or any medium of expression. One piece, for example, showcases natural materials in different states of development and decay.

“One message the exhibition conveys is that there are many ways to express persona,” Statzer, the lead curator, said. “There is no one right way to do it.”

The exhibit was built with the intention of engaging the local community in discussions of social issues, lovell said.

“The main idea behind the “Hindsight Insight” exhibitions is to highlight

works in our museum’s art collection, while showcasing student and faculty work in context,” lovell said.

lovell’s focus in the development of the exhibit is in the section entitled “A Sense of Self: Performing Identity for the Camera.” Here, visitors can see photographs that span throughout the history of photography.

“(lovell), grad assistant Ellan Luna and I worked closely together to select works that would reflect a diverse group of makers and subjects,” Statzer said.

The majority of the photographs included in the exhibit are portraits that capture niches of human identity that, before the invention of the camera, were difficult to document, lovell said.

An in-house photo studio for portraits provides an addition to the exhibit that allows visitors to interact personally with the exploration of identity, lovell and Statzer said.

“Visitors are encouraged not only to explore the photographed storytelling by other artists, but to create their own portraits as well with the use of the in-exhibit mini photo studio,” Statzer said.

The exhibit encourages students and visitors to take advantage of the photo studio, whether they want to explore the image of their own identity or just enjoy the installation, lovell said.

“(Visitors) are encouraged to show up in makeup (and) clothes and use expressions that convey their persona, or folks can simply stumble upon it and snap a selfie for fun,” lovell said.

“The images taken on the (camera) in the studio are collected and displayed digitally on the LCD display screen outside of the museum, viewable during the hours the Popejoy building is open.”

Some of the student artwork included is courtesy of lovell and their colleague, Ellen Babcock’s, art practice classes. The work aims to see Hindsight Insight page 13

Tomaziefski and Jaber from page 7

Tomaziefski said.

One of the “pitfalls” of ASUNM is the current expectation for student organizations to understand the process, Tomaziefski said.

In the Senate, Jaber is currently working on legislation that will require finance senators to include information on the amount a student organization has previously received from ASUNM in their presentation of the funding request to the ASUNM Senate.

“This is super important when we’re talking about making equitable cuts and making good decisions when we’re funding student organizations and appropriations,” Jaber said.

Jaber is also working on rewriting the constitution and law book to reflect the current status of ASUNM and would continue if he moves into vice president – a role that oversees the Senate, he said. Tomaziefski brought up working on translating these documents into other languages as well.

“One of the things that I want to do (to) distill and hopefully create longevity throughout the years, even when I’m out of office, would be having a strong line of communication to agencies. A lot of agencies feel like the law book hasn’t represented them in a while; there’s a lot of things that need to be changed,” Jaber said.

In terms of the executive cabinet, Tomaziefski said he wants to make sure it is built up of students who are highly involved and passionate about working towards solutions.

“Unfortunately, the job of a senator is limited in some aspects. And, as a president, it’s easier to reach higher university officials – such as the President, the Board of Regents – to really push an agenda that the student body agrees with and needs,” Tomaziefski said.

ASUNM’s elections begin Wednesday, March 20 at 9 a.m. and closes on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m, according to the ASUNM Elections Commission. Polling locations have yet to be announced.

“explore the ideas of persona in making an artwork as informed by the exhibition,” a posting at the exhibit reads. The reception will be held at UNMAM on Thursday, March 28.

Jacobs is currently teaching a course titled Social Transformation Through Art in the Honors College and is a co-curator of “Eco-Pulse” on display within the exhibit, which showcases a collection of her students’ work alongside other artists, she said.

The “Eco-Pulse” section “explores the beauty, fragility and interconnections of the living world,” a posting at the exhibit reads. This section of the exhibit uses natural materials to tell stories about environmental struggle and change, and how it affects individualism.

“(My students will be) presenting their work in the museum as part of the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Conference,” Jacobs said. The event and its reception will be held on Friday, April 12.

The student artwork is displayed alongside established creators. By doing so, Statzer said the curators tried to create an environment where student artwork can be valued and appreciated, without separating them or drawing a distinction.

“I want the students to feel empowered, not intimidated, by the space of the museum,” Statzer said. “This is their space and their collection (as well).”

Other pieces from the exhibit include portraits by Andy Warhol, which wordlessly explore different people and objects that convey individual identities. Other art displayed includes both early photography of historical figures and Jess Dugan’s exploration of sexuality in photography.

With, lovell’s series of photographs entitled “DIYPI (Do It Yourself Private Investigation),” Statzer spoke about how lovell uses self-portrait photography to represent identity through gender expression.

“These photographs show us how

malleable identity is and how one person can inhabit space differently as male or female-presenting. (lovell’s) photographs skillfully tap into gendered structures of power,” Statzer said.

Other highlights include “Her Eyes” by Lesley Dill and “Untitled” by Kiki Smith, Jacobs said.

“Both of these pieces use delicate materials to talk about the delicacy and sacredness of our connection to the living world,” she said.

UNMAM has free admission and hosts many events that students are encouraged to visit.

“I want (students and visitors) to feel inspired by what they see here, but to also ask questions. I want them to know that their ideas and contributions are important and valued.” Statzer said.
