The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895
Four UNM Departments to host
By Nate Bernard @natebernard14
Throughout the week of Monday, Dec. 9, graduating students at the University of New Mexico will celebrate their accomplishments. About 1,600 students from the Albuquerque campus will receive their degrees, according to UNM Newsroom.
In addition to the main commencement ceremonies held on Thursday, Dec. 12 and Friday, Dec. 13 at The Pit, some UNM departments are holding convocation ceremonies for their graduating students.
Convocations are smaller than the commencements and give departments the opportunity to celebrate graduates in a more personal atmosphere, according to the UNM Departmental Convocations website.
Below is information on the four convocations listed on UNM’s website.
Anderson School of Management
The Anderson School of Management will hold its convocation ceremony at The Pit at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11. Graduates are expected to arrive at 3 p.m., and doors will open to guests at the same time, according to the UNM Departmental Convocations website.
This convocation will celebrate those in general business studies and business concentrations, according to Megan Borders, communications and outreach specialist at the Anderson School of Management.
The ceremony will last about an hour, Borders said.
The event will feature three speakers, according to Borders: alum guest speaker Chanel Wiese-Carl, graduate student speaker Kadeem
Ladoo and undergraduate student speaker Iliana Sandoval.
Wiese-Carl is the former and founding executive director of The Somos Unidos Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to creating positive outcomes for New Mexicans through creativity and community, according to the USL. In 2021, Albuquerque Business First named Wiese-Carl one of the year’s “Women of Influence.”
Ladoo is a graduate student who left his home in Antigua and Barbuda to pursue higher education in New Mexico, according to Borders. In 2022, Ladoo was on a team that placed first in the first Anderson Undergraduate Ethics Case Competition, according to the Anderson School of Management.
Sandoval is an Anderson Hall of Fame Scholarship and Hispano Chamber of Commerce THRIVE Scholarship recipient, Borders said. She served as a corporate and community engagement liaison representing the Anderson School of Management at alumni and employer events, according to Borders.
Immediately after the convocation, Anderson will host a graduate and family mixer at the Club Level of The Pit, during which refreshments and cake will be served, according to Borders. At the reception, there will be photographers and a photo area. College of Nursing
The College of Nursing will hold its convocation ceremony in Popejoy Hall at 3 p.m. on Dec. 12. Students are expected to arrive by 2:45 p.m., according to the UNM Departmental Convocations website.
Graduating students in the college’s Bachelor of Science and doctoral programs will be celebrated at the convocation, according to Amanda
Abeyta-Rey, the special events coordinator for the College of Nursing.
The convocation will feature graduates from the college’s first Accelerated Second-Degree BSN program, according to Abeyta-Rey.
“We’re really excited to expand the New Mexico nurses workforce through offering and now finally graduating a group from this program,” Abeyta-Rey said.
At the convocation, awards will be given to outstanding faculty members, pre-licensure students, the student with the best dissertation or thesis as decided by graduate faculty, and students who have exhibited growth and achievement during their RN or BSN programs, according to Abeyta-Rey.
Graduating students will be awarded with a unique ribbon and pin at the convocation, Abeyta-Rey said.
Honors College
The Honors College convocation will be held at the Honors College dorm at 6 p.m. on Dec. 12, according to the UNM Departmental Convocations website.
The convocation will celebrate students who are earning a certificate or minor in honors, according to Anna Abeyta, Honors College communication and marketing intern.
This convocation will be the first at the Honors College that will feature an alum guest speaker, according to Abeyta.
“We have a tight-knit community with our alumni,” Abeyta said.
“We just wanted to invite them back and kind of bring them for the graduation.”
Daniel Abraham, the recipient of the 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award, will be the guest speaker at the convocation. Abraham is a for-
mer Daily Lobo staff member and a nationally respected and top-selling writer of fantasy, science fiction and horror, according to the Honors College. He has been nominated for the Nebula and World Fantasy awards, and he has won the Hugo Award and International Horror Guild Award, according to his website.
School of Engineering
The School of Engineering will hold its convocation at the Albuquerque Convention Center’s Kiva Auditorium at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14. Graduating students are expected to arrive between 2:45 p.m. and 3:35 p.m., according to the UNM Departmental Convocations website.
The ceremony will last about an hour and a half, and a reception will follow, according to Rebecca Colón, the events planner at the School of Engineering.
The convocation will feature three speakers, Colón said.
Edward Angel, the keynote speaker, is a professor emeritus of computer science at UNM and founding director of the Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory, according to UNM. Eric Robbins will be the graduate speaker, and Melachi Sanchez — recipient of the George E. Breece Award — will be the undergraduate speaker, according to Colón.
The reception will be held over the sky bridge from the Kiva Auditorium and will serve as a place where graduates, guests and faculty members can converse with cake and drinks, according to Colón.

Keynote commencement speakers to note
By Addison Fulton @dailylobo
Starting Thursday, Dec. 12, the University of New Mexico will host its commencements for students graduating during the fall semester. The two ceremonies will each feature a keynote speaker: entrepreneur Doug Campbell and St. Vincent Regional Medical Center CEO and President Lillian Montoya.
Campbell is the keynote speaker for the undergraduate ceremony. Campbell, a UNM alum, has a background in engineering and now works as an entrepreneur.
Campbell is a self-described “start-up veteran,” having founded and worked with several tech start-ups such as Solid Power, which makes solid-state rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, according to his website.
Campbell was born and raised in Albuquerque but spent much of his professional career in Colorado. He returned to Albuquerque with the hope of giving back to his community, he said. In addition to giving this year’s keynote address, Campbell is on the Board of Trustees for the UNM Foundation and the Lobo Club.
In 2022, Campbell pledged $5 million to the UNM Department

“I view having a strong university as central to a robust economy, which we in Albuquerque, New Mexico could use a little help (with),” Campbell said.
Campbell said he hopes to instill and inspire confidence in UNM graduates with his address.
“To put it in very simple terms: The sky’s the limit,” Campbell said.
In his industry, his two direct competitors were spin-outs from Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Campbell said.
”Here’s a guy with a couple degrees from UNM going head-to-head with companies spun out of some of the world’s leading universities,” he said. “So if I can do it, so can you.”
Montoya will deliver the graduate keynote address. She was also born and raised in New Mexico and received both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UNM.
She said she is glad to have been able to stay in New Mexico and make her own difference. Montoya is the only one of her siblings still in the state, and neither of her kids are in New Mexico, she said.
“It’s been important to me to be able to stay here and not only make a career

possible, but to be able to do some really wonderful things with some great people and make New Mexico even better and stronger,” Montoya said.
Montoya said she wants to honor the time and work it takes to complete a master’s degree, particularly drawing on her own experiences completing her master’s degree as a
working wife and mom.
“I remember that journey of going back to earn my graduate degree, and the challenges that come with that.
For the most part, you’re an older student, right? So you already have a lot of life happening,” Montoya said.
“And so I want to acknowledge that and celebrate that, because it’s one of those things, once you get through it, you don’t savor it quite long enough to appreciate the investment you made in yourself.”

During an Albuquerque City Council meeting on Dec. 2, the family of Matthew “Solo” Garcia was joined by community members and activists to request accountability from the Albuquerque Police Department after officers fatally shot Garcia while he was handcuffed in the back of a police car during a code enforcement on Oct. 18.
About two weeks before the meeting, Albuquerque Police Department Commander Kyle Hartsock revealed in a public briefing the names of the two officers who shot Matthew Gar-
cia: Precious Cadena and Zachary Earles. A total of 11 shots were fired, 10 of which struck Garcia, Hartsock said during the briefing.
Matthew Garcia’s parents, Fred and Bernadette Garcia, asked the Council for answers and accountability for their son.
“Solo wasn’t perfect, but he was human,” Fred Garcia said.
Matthew Garcia’s 9-year-old daughter, Azul Diamond Garcia, stood with her grandparents during the meeting.
“This is taking a toll on the whole family,” Bernadette Garcia said. “We get no answers.”
Public commenter and activist Anami Dass said that the officers who were at the scene need more time to “cool off.”
“It’s incredibly traumatic to hurt another person, even if you’re a cop,” she said. “They need time away from the field, and the field needs time with them away.”
Both Cadena and Earles were hired in 2021 and have not returned to full duty since the incident, Hartsock said in the briefing.
In November 2023, Earles shot an armed suspect in Albuquerque.
According to the lapel footage played during the briefing, Matthew Garcia had been concealing his identity shortly before being handcuffed and placed in the police car, where he then sat for 45 minutes as police tried to determine his identity.
Matthew Garcia had not been searched prior to being placed in the police car, Albuquerque Police Chief
Harold Medina said during the briefing.
“(Cadena) knew they still needed to search the individual, because it seems to have gotten lost during the transition when they were trying to deescalate the situation,” Medina said.
Taylor Smith, an attorney who represents Garcia’s family, told the Daily Lobo he is investigating what led up to Garcia’s death, as well as any potential claims for constitutional violations.
“Our clients are completely devastated by the loss of their son,” Smith said. “We do not believe that Mr. Garcia should have died based on this interaction.”
Based on the lapel footage, Smith said he saw a failure on the officers’ end to deal with people in mental distress in an appropriate manner, and a failure in standard police practices to protect officer safety and the safety of people like Matthew Garcia.
The footage shows that after about a minute and a half in the back of the police car, Matthew Garcia told a police officer, “I’m going to kill myself here.”
An officer told Matthew Garcia that officers would not let that happen.
Two hours after the shooting, APD officers spoke to his wife, Bianca Garcia, who said that Matthew Garcia used to tell her he would “go by suicide by cop.”
The footage shows that Matthew Garcia was holding a handgun while he was handcuffed in the back of the car, which an APD officer was able to remove during a scramble.
“You’re going to fucking die,” Matthew Garcia said during the scramble.

At the time of the shooting, Matthew Garcia was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to convictions of armed robbery, auto theft, aggravated assault and concealing identity, according to Medina.
Medina said during the briefing that he briefly met Matthew Garcia’s family at a City Council meeting.
“I feel bad that this happened to their son, but at the same time, I am grateful that I have three officers that went home that night,” Medina said.
Smith said that based on the footage, it looked to him like Cadena and Earles fired shots at Matthew Garcia after he was disarmed.
“As (Cadena and Earles) approach the vehicle after having discharged their firearms, the APD officer already has (Garcia’s) gun in hand,” Smith said.
Emery Schmidt, a speaker at public comment, asked the Council members for transparency regarding the incident and requested that APD be kept accountable.
“The demand of the public is transparency,” Schmidt said. “I would also like to remind the Council that due to the results of the local election, you all have the power to remove sheriffs.”

UNM football team to see mass exodus
By Izabella Kubiak-Reseigh @kubiakizabella
The University of New Mexico football team has been plagued by sudden roster changes since the start of this month, with two staff members — including Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall — and at least 11 players announcing their upcoming departures.
Mendenhall, along with offensive coordinator Jason Beck, quarterback Devon Dampier, wide receiver Luke Wysong, safety Bryson Taylor, running back Eli Sanders, edge Max Lantzsch, running back Javen Jacobs, cornerback Noah Avinger, tight end Everett Hunter, offensive lineman Wallace Unamba, tight end Trace Bruckler and wide receiver Caleb Medford all announced last week that they do not plan on returning next season.
Mendenhall accepted a head coaching position at Utah State University after just one year with the
Lobos, according to ESPN.
The Albuquerque Journal broke the news of Mendenhall’s departure on Thursday, Dec. 5. At a press conference the day before, Mendenhall said he had not been contacted by another Mountain West school.
“I have only been speculated to have been contacted by (Utah State),” Mendenhall said at the press conference.
The former Brigham Young University coach has a history with Utah, having led the Cougars to a 99-43 record under his tenure with title and bowl appearances, according to USU.
Mendenhall was hired at UNM in December 2023, returning to Albuquerque after serving as the Lobos’ defensive coordinator from 1998-2002.
In May, Mendenhall signed a fiveyear $6 million deal that made him the highest-paid football coach in UNM history, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
UNM is entitled to $2 million for the early termination of his contract, according to KRQE, which Utah State could potentially cover.
players among those leaving the Lobo den
This season, Mendenhall opened 0-4 before beating New Mexico State University 50-40, sparking hope among fans. The Lobos later clawed their way to victory against a ranked opponent, only to lose to Hawaii 30-38 at the end of November, eliminating UNM from bowl eligibility.
On Friday, Dec. 6, the University of Utah announced on X that UNM Offensive Coordinator Jason Beck will also leave the Lobos, accepting the same position in Utah.
As for the team’s roster, the Lobos are saying goodbye to UNM’s record-setting quarterback Devon Dampier, who announced on Dec. 5 that he would enter the transfer portal in the offseason.
“After much consideration and conversations with my family and those closest to me, I have decided to enter the transfer portal,” Dampier wrote.
Dampier thrived under Mendenhall’s staff, breaking several UNM records in his first year as UNM’s starter.
According to ESPN, Dampier threw for 2,768 yards this season, which
was the fifth most of any quarterback in the program’s history. Dampier saw an incredible season rushing as well, with 1,166 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground.
The retention woes don’t end there.
The team suffered another blow on Dec. 6 with the announcement that wide receiver Luke Wysong would also enter the transfer portal.
Wysong was one of the Lobos’ offensive weapons, leading the team with 69 receptions and 840 yards this season, according to ESPN.
Wysong also took to social media to express his gratitude for his time with the Lobos.
“I am forever grateful for everything that it’s taught me,” Wysong wrote on Instagram. “I will be entering the transfer portal to strive and reach my highest potential.”
There may be more trouble for the Lobos. On Dec. 6, running back Eli Sanders, edge Max Lantzsch and safety Bryson Taylor announced on social media that they would enter the transfer portal. On Dec. 7, tight end Everett Hunter, wide receiver
Caleb Medford and running back Javen Jacobs made the same announcement. On Sunday, Dec. 8, tight end Trace Bruckler announced his plans to enter the transfer portal.
On Dec. 6, Athletic Director Fernando Lovo released a statement about Mendenhall’s departure.
“I shared with Bronco my disappointment, as for several weeks, President Stokes, the athletic administration and then I have engaged with Bronco and his representatives,” Lovo said. “Our search for a new head coach is already underway, and there is already significant interest from elite coaches who want to be a part of the Lobo family.”
With gaping holes left in the football team’s roster, the Lobos will load up this offseason and prepare for next season with a lookout for new staff and athletes.

Western New Mexico wolf sanctuary absorbs Colorado sanctuary
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
Nestled in the grassy hills of western New Mexico in a community called Candy Kitchen is the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, a nonprofit that houses wolves, wolfdogs, New Guinea singing dogs, foxes and coyotes.
Founded in 1991 as The Candy Kitchen Wolf and Wolfdog Rescue Ranch, Wild Spirit is now in the process of absorbing the Indigo
Mountain Nature Center, a nonprofit wolf and wildlife sanctuary based in Lake George, Colorado.
Wild Spirit has grown to become one of the largest canid sanctuaries in North America, according to Executive Director Brittany McDonald. It provides sanctuary for animals from across the country and uses their stories to educate the public, McDonald wrote in a statement to the Daily Lobo.
McDonald is overseeing the project and has been running the sanctuary for
four years. Before absorbing the Indigo Mountain Nature Center, Wild Spirit reached its maximum animal capacity and was only able to take in one animal this year, according to McDonald.
“By taking in Indigo Mountain, we not only save their current rescues, but have the capacity to continue taking in new animals with the additional space, funding and overall support that facility will bring,” McDonald wrote.
Expanding Wild Spirit’s capacity will save animal lives since its employees can now care for more, according to McDonald.
Indigo Mountain has been a permanent placement facility for wolfdogs, similar to Wild Spirit, as well as black bears and several small exotic and wild animal species.
Indigo Mountain founders Sue Cranston and Carol Scarsborough es-
tablished the nature center together in 1999, and they led the organization until Cranston’s death earlier this year, according to Indigo Mountain’s website.
Indigo Mountain’s board of directors sent an email to Wild Spirit over the summer, asking McDonald if the sanctuary could take in some of the wolfdog rescues.
“Upon receiving this email, I reached out to propose an alternative option, knowing full well that the odds of finding sanctuary placement for 25 animals would be next to impossible,” McDonald wrote. “There are so few sanctuaries in the U.S., and most are already at capacity, Wild Spirit included.”
Because Indigo Mountain can house nearly 50 animals, closure of the sanctuary would have been a substantial loss to the animal rescue community, McDonald wrote. After
expressing this concern, McDonald asked if Wild Spirit would consider dissolving Indigo Mountain into Wild Spirit, allowing the animals to remain in their home.
The absorption of Indigo Mountain will support the current location in New Mexico, McDonald wrote.
“By opening a second location nestled between Colorado Springs and Denver, we (will) have an opportunity to increase our impact for saving lives and educating people, and also for bringing in donations to support both the Colorado and New Mexico locations,” McDonald wrote.

Lobo basketball player allegedly attacked by teammate; UNM investigates misconduct
By Izabella Kubiak-Reseigh @kubiakizabella
A University of New Mexico basketball player was allegedly attacked by a teammate following an argument on a plane ride to a Thanksgiving tournament, KOB reported on Monday, Dec. 2.
On Tuesday, Dec. 3, KRQE investigators released an interview with redshirt freshman Shane DoumaSanchez, who said he was injured during the fight that took place Nov. 26 over an airplane seat.
In an interview with KRQE, Douma-Sanchez said that when the plane landed in Palm Springs for the team’s Acrisure Classic tournament, a teammate hit his already-injured shoulder and punched him in the face, fracturing his nose.
Douma-Sanchez told KRQE that although teams have personality conflicts and competition among teammates during the season, he hadn’t experienced anything like this before.
The player who allegedly beat Douma-Sanchez has yet to be named because the investigation is ongoing, but the player was allowed to play af-
ter the fight, according to KRQE.
“I think (the coaches) had the best interest of the team at the time, which was winning basketball games, because that’s what we were there to do,” Douma-Sanchez told KRQE.
While Douma-Sanchez recovered, his attorneys sent a letter to UNM outlining a series of claims, according to KRQE. The letter mentioned possible felony charges, KRQE reported.
The letter also alleged a “complete dereliction of duty by UNM’s basketball coaching staff,” according to KRQE.
David Adams — one of DoumaSanchez’s attorneys — told KRQE he
thought the suspect should have been suspended following the incident.
UNM men’s basketball Head
Coach Richard Pitino said he was aware of the allegations during a media conference on Dec. 3.
“There’s not a whole lot I can talk about,” Pitino said at the conference.
“We are handling any discipline matters internally.”
UNM provided a statement to KOB on Dec. 2.
“The University of New Mexico takes the safety and well-being of all our students very seriously,” the statement reads. “We are aware of an alleged in-
cident involving members of our men’s basketball team and are carefully reviewing and assessing all of the facts.”
The suspect’s attorney said his client is denying all allegations, KRQE reported, and the investigation is ongoing.

Men’s basketball: Aggies stun Lobos
By Rodney Prunty @rprunty05
On Saturday, Dec. 7, the Rio Grande Rivalry was put to the forefront as the New Mexico State University Aggies traveled up from Las Cruces to face the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team at The Pit, resulting in an 89-83 loss for the Lobos.
The game was sold out as fans flooded in to see how it would unfold.
The Lobos came into the game after their win against San Jose State, while the Aggies came in on a five-game losing streak.
The Lobos started the game looking sharp; the offense looked the most consistent it had looked all year.
Center Nelly Junior Joseph began dominating down low early on.
Guard Braden Appelhans also
chimed in, as he had a great half coming off the bench. Appelhans had the hot hand as he shot an efficient 4-5 from the field in the first half, with three of those shots coming from the 3 point line.
With that start, the Lobos were able to build a 14-point lead. As time wound down in the half, the Aggies went on a run. The consistency the Lobos had on the offensive side of the ball faded away when the Aggies went on the run, and the presence the Lobos had on defense vanished.
The Aggies took a 47-38 lead going into the half.
Coming into the second half, the Lobos still seemed rattled from the run made by the Aggies. The Lobos were shooting terribly from everywhere on the court. Things were looking bleak for the team; with less than 10 minutes left to play, they
faced a 13-point deficit.
With two minutes left, the Lobos kicked themselves back into gear. They were down by only 3 points when guard CJ Noland hit a big-time 3 to tie the game.
Then, with only three seconds left, the Lobos found themselves down by 3 points again. Appelhans shot a 3 in an attempt to take the game into overtime. The shot did not look likely to fall but was called for goaltending by New Mexico State, which took the game to overtime.
The Lobos failed to take over the game in overtime, as they were getting torched on defense. The offense lost its momentum, not being able to buy a bucket. This all culminated with the Aggies taking the victory.
The Lobos struggled on defense, especially on the perimeter. Noland said the team just couldn’t get stops.
“Offensive rebounding, easy putbacks (and) second chance points (lead) to threes, so that ultimately hurts,” Noland said.
Starting guard Donovan Dent went to the bench early in overtime and didn’t see the court again. Head Coach Richard Pitino said it was because he was exhausted and missing shots.
“By the time we could’ve gotten him back in, we were fouling a lot,” Pitino said.
The Lobos will look to get back in the win column on Saturday, Dec. 14 when they play the Western New Mexico University Mustangs at The Pit.

Women’s basketball: Lobos slip up in second half against Aggies
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team faced off at The Pit against its rival, the New Mexico State University Aggies, on Friday, Dec. 6. The Lobos fell to the Aggies 81-71.
The Lobos move to 5-4 in the season, unable to rack up some wins before facing conference rivals starting at the end of this month.
The tone for the night was set very early. It was a back-and-forth battle between both teams until the fourth quarter, when the Lobos couldn’t keep up with the Aggies.
Head Coach Mike Bradbury
said he was disappointed with the loss and that the Lobos were overwhelmed by the Aggies.
“They beat us for forty straight minutes,” Bradbury said. “We just stood in no-man’s land.”
The game was intense, with UNM and NMSU tying five times with 13 lead changes. The game could have gone either way, but the Aggies made more plays.
In the second half, trouble started brewing for the Lobos. The Rio Grande Rivalry game went point-forpoint from 38-38, 42-42 and 44-44 in the third quarter. The Lobos were scraping by as the Aggies gained momentum on offense.
The Lobos gave NMSU 21 points from turnovers. In the third quar-
ter, the Lobos outscored the Aggies 25-16 and allowed them to go on an 8-point scoring run. The Lobos struggled with offense, going 4 for 12 from the field and 1 for 2 on 3-pointers.
The Lobos plagued themselves with fouls and allowed the Aggies to rack up points off free throws.
Guard Destinee Hooks said she thinks the third quarter went sour because of Lobo mistakes.
“I think we just gave up a lot of shots on defense,” Hooks said. “We fouled too much and couldn’t come up in the rebound in the end.”
Starting the fourth quarter down by 8, the Lobos made an effort to come back but still struggled with the same mistakes made in the third.
The Lobos failed to capitalize on
offense by missing free throws and shots, and losing the ball to turnovers. This allowed the Aggies to widen the gap, winning the game by 10. Bradbury said he will do a better job at preparing the Lobos to face the Aggies again.
“I don’t think we were very motivated tonight. I did a poor job at having our team ready to play,” Bradbury said. “We were soundly beaten for forty minutes.”
On Sunday, Dec. 8, the Lobos faced the Aggies again in Las Cruces. They lost 68-60.

United Graduate Workers petition for chosen name recognition and neutral gender markers
By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo
The University of New Mexico United Graduate Workers launched a petition on Nov. 20 that calls for UNM to update its systems to accurately reflect chosen names and gender markers for users.
According to the petition, components of the University system, including email accounts and the course registration website, are denying the ability for transgender students and workers to use their preferred names. According to the
petition, this contradicts UNM’s Policy 2720, which prohibits discrimination based on gender and gender identity.
Currently, UNM offers students, faculty and staff members the ability to change names in Banner, Outlook and on LoboCards, according to UNM LGBTQ Resource Center Director Frankie Flores.
In 2019, New Mexico passed an act that allows for an “X” gender marker on vital records. The marker signifies that a person is a gender other than male or female, or an undesignated gender.
Max Pagano, a union area stew-
ard and graduate student, said UGW hopes that the University will incorporate this marker into its systems.
“We’re tired of our members and our coworkers and our students and our professors and our friends having to deal with this,” Pagano said.
Discussions with University representatives about these updates to the systems began during a labor management committee over a year ago and have been ongoing since then, Pagano said.
Ashley Bernardo, UGW communications chair and English doctoral candidate, said they feel that the lack of progress is frustrating. The
union has not received specific updates, Bernardo said.
UNM is working with its IT team on these services, according to Cinnamon Blair, UNM Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. Blair directed students to FastInfo and the information page on Canvas for resources on displaying their preferred name in University systems.
The LGBTQ Resource Center has been working since 2013 to address issues around affirmed names and gender markers, according to Flores. They said that because the UNM banner system is binary, it poses more of a challenge
for the gender neutral marker.
If students, faculty or staff members face issues regarding affirmed names, they can reach out to UNM Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity. They can also reach out anonymously to LoboRespect, the LGBTQ Resource Center or the Women’s Resource Center.

The history of graduation traditions at UNM and beyond
By Elijah Ritch @dailylobo
In American society, graduation has become a momentous signifier of the end of one period in life and the beginning of another. Whether this be from high school, college or any place else, the event of graduation has brought about an entire
culture of traditions.
With the University of New Mexico’s graduation ceremonies beginning on Wednesday, Dec. 11, here’s a look at the origin of some graduation customs.
The tradition of wearing a cap and gown while graduating can be traced back to the 12th century, though at that time they were primarily worn to keep grads warm,
according to the University of Illinois Chicago. The designs of typical graduation gowns were determined by the Intercollegiate Code of 1895, which the majority of universities follow to this day, according to UIC.
Square graduation caps — aka mortarboard caps — originated in the 16th century, according to National Geographic. The design was
called “pileus quadratus,” and it was an early version of the caps that are commonplace now. Since early American schools like Harvard University were modeled after British universities such as Oxford and Cambridge University, this style of cap quickly became a fixture in American graduation ceremonies, according to National Geographic.
A few major graduation traditions developed in America in the 20th century, according to National Geographic. The ritual of moving the cap’s tassel from the right side to the left after receiving one’s diploma started about a century ago and has grown to become a common way of demonstrating how graduation functions as a transition from one stage of life to another.
Caps were originally supposed to be worn for almost the entire ceremony, only to be removed during prayer, according to National Geographic. This changed when members of the United States Naval Academy’s 1912 class threw their midshipmen hats into the air upon receiving their officer hats.
Over the past century, the act of ceremonially tossing grad caps into the air has grown from a military-related tradition to perhaps the most well-known marker of the joy of graduation, according to National Geographic.
“Pomp and Circumstance,” the song commonly played at graduation ceremonies, was composed by English musician Edward Elgar in 1901, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Named after a passage from “Othello,” it was first played at an American graduation ceremony when Elgar received an honorary doctorate from Yale University, according to Smithsonian Magazine, and in the following years, it spread from one university to another. At UNM, there are specific colors associated with each college and type of degree, according to UNM’s list of commencement traditions. The color and width of the velvet binding in the graduation gown’s hood is determined by the college that a graduate is receiving a degree from. For example, philosophy is blue and fine arts is brown, according to the list. The color of the cap’s tassel serves the same purpose, according to the list. The colors of the banners carried in the ceremony’s opening procession are also distinct to each college. Purple is for the School of Law, for example, while orange is for the School of Engineering.
