ONCE A LOBO, ALWAYS A LOBO

HISTORY & TRADITION

The lobo legacy.

2020 marked the 100th year since the adoption of the Lobo as The University of New Mexico’s mascot. UNM has since created "Lobo Louie" and "Lobo Lucy" who are part of the University’s spirit program and can be spotted at athletic and University events. For 100 years graduates from UNM continue to carry on our mission of what it means to be a Lobo, in our community and all over the world.

HANGING OF THE GREENS

Dating back to the 1930's, Hanging of the Greens is a time honored holiday tradition at UNM. The campus is beautifully illuminated by more than 13,000 luminarias. The community gathers to carol with Santa, Mrs. Claus, Lobo Louie and Lucy, while walking to University House to present President Stokes with a holiday wreath.

Every year, on the Thursday before the Lobos vs. Aggies football game, students gather on Johnson Field to burn a 25-ft. tall Aggie. It was rated as one of Sports Illustrated’s “102 Things You Have To Do Before You Graduate” college events. With up to 3,000 students in attendance, musical performances by the Spirit Marching Band, the Football team and local DJ’s—it’s one of the largest annual events on campus.

UNM Alumni Association

The University of New Mexico Alumni Association is located in UNM’s first campus building, Hodgin Hall. Just outside, you’ll see UNM’s new U.

What is the U?

UNM was known throughout Albuquerque as "The U" in the early days of its history.

To promote University spirit, in 1922, under the administration of UNM President David S. Hill, an "electric U" was placed atop Hodgin Hall. Albuquerque Gas and Electric Company constructed the U out of tin. Approximately 25 electric lights ran down each side. Keeping those light bulbs replaced in a timely fashion proved challenging once the sign was up. The project's total cost: $200. The U stayed in place at least until 1932. Neither the exact date nor the reason it was removed is known.

Rooted in community, steeped in tradition

From the beautifully restored Alumni Center at Hodgin Hall, the UNM Alumni Association and the UNM Alumni Relations Office keep The University of New Mexico and its alumni communicating and connected. Everyone who graduates from UNM is automatically a member of the Alumni Association — there are no dues. 

505-277-5808 or 800-ALUM-UNM (258-6866) [email protected]

Stay involved in your student's higher education.

The UNM Parent & Family Association is here for you and your Lobos. Whether it's raising money for student scholarships or helping students move into the dorms, the Parent & Family Association is committed to helping students succeed.

Arrests at USC amid pro-Palestine protests nationwide; Southern California campus closed

Police arrested protesters Wednesday at the University of Southern California campus, which closed to the public Wednesday amid clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and authorities at the school and nationwide .

Arrests were actively being made on campus Wednesday evening, a Los Angeles police spokesperson told USA TODAY. The spokesperson said he could not provide an estimate on how many people were detained though some media reports were putting the number in the dozens.

The university closed the main campus due to the "significant activity on campus," USC's Department of Public Safety said in an alert to students. Everyone on the campus could still leave but students were required to enter through pedestrian gates using their school IDs.

Hundreds of students and off-campus activists protested for hours at the university on Wednesday, joining movements at colleges across the country demanding that universities cut any ties with Israel and call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

"If you are in the center of campus, please leave; LAPD will be arresting people who don’t disperse," USC's Department of Public Safety wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Organizers set up an encampment in the early morning hours at Alumni Park, the center of the campus where USC's main-stage commencement ceremony is set to take place next month. Students held signs that read "Free Palestine," "Ceasefire" and "No war w/ out tuition," among others.

Live updates: Columbia says encampments will scale down; police clashes at more campuses

Videos show clashes between police and protesters

Los Angeles police dressed in riot gear and marching in formation on the campus shortly before the arrests.

Videos posted on social media captured various clashes throughout the day, including an incident where students reportedly blocked a school car with a detained protester inside.

Arrests follow protests over valedictorian speech cancelation

Wednesday's protests come less than a week after students, faculty and pro-Palestinian activists rallied at USC on April 18 to protest the cancelation of valedictorian Asna Tabassum's speech.

On April 15, USC announced that Tabassum would no longer deliver her speech after the discussion about her selection took on "an alarming tenor" on social media. Critics complained about Tabassum's Instagram bio that linked to a pro-Palestine website, arguing that she spouted "anti-semitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric."

The school also canceled appearances from outside speakers and honorees at the May 10 ceremony.

Tabassum, a South Asian-American and Muslim student who studies biomedical engineering and resistance to genocide, issued a statement after USC's decision.

"I am not surprised by those who attempt to propagate hatred. I am surprised that my own university − my home for four years − has abandoned me," Tabassum said in the statement, issued through the Council on American-Islamic Relations L.A. branch .

Rallies ensue across US campuses

Protests were held across the nation Wednesday at USC, the University of Texas in Austin and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. Protesters, many of whom aren't affiliated with the schools, are demanding for an end to the civilian casualties in Gaza.

Columbia University said protesters had agreed to  scale down their encampment but student protesters issued a statement saying the New York school made a written promise to not call the NYPD or the National Guard in what they called "an important victory for students.”

Police made nine arrests at the University of Minnesota campus in St. Paul and cleared an encampment at the school's request, citing violations of university policy and trespassing law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the protests, calling them "horrific'' and saying, "Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities.''

For generations, student protests have shifted public opinion. Could it happen on the Middle East?

P amela Metzger remembers the cold nights sleeping in a structure made of scrap wood and cardboard on Dartmouth College’s campus in protest of apartheid rule in South Africa.

For about three months, student activists gathered in the “shantytown,” one of many such displays that appeared on college campuses in the 1980s. People from surrounding communities came out to support the student protesters, bringing firewood and supplies.

These “were folks who were really struggling to make ends meet, and yet they came out because they believed in the justice of our cause,” said Metzger, now a law professor at Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law.

College campuses across the nation have a long history as theaters for student activism, dating as far back as disputes over the quality of butter at Harvard University during the Revolutionary War. In the 1920s, students at historically Black colleges rebelled for better conditions on campus, while in the 1960s, student protesters conducted sit-ins to end segregation, marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., and rallied for the end of the Vietnam War.

More recently, students at some schools successfully pressured administrators to divest their endowments from fossil fuel companies.

Historians say it’s hard to tell in the moment whether a student movement will have a lasting impact. But if the past is any indication, the current protests over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict roiling campuses could help change public perception of the ongoing war in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians, including more than 13,000 children, displaced hundreds of thousands more, and brought the territory to the brink of famine.

“I think the protests did contribute to the US diminishing its involvement, and ultimately ending the Vietnam War,” said Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch. “The students served as the visible conscience of America, and I think something similar is going on now with Israel.”

Student activists have set up protest encampments on dozens of campuses in recent days, many inspired by protesters at Columbia University where more than 100 people were arrested when police cleared the site earlier in April. In Massachusetts, police broke up encampments at Emerson College and Northeastern University in recent days and arrested more than 200 people. The demonstrators had gathered to protest the Gaza war and to demand the schools cut any ties with Israel.

Encampments remain at other local schools, including Brown University, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Tufts University.

Tensions surrounding the Mideast conflict have been growing on campuses since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that left 1,200 dead, mostly civilians, while another 250 were taken hostage. College administrators have been struggling to balance free speech with concerns from Jewish students and alumni that some demonstrations have veered into antisemitism.

Today’s pro-Palestinian protests are certainly much smaller than earlier movements, such as those in the 1960s, when students were fighting closer-to-home threats posed by the draft and segregation. But students say the current movement has grown rapidly since Oct. 7, with hundreds of students showing support for what was once a fringe area of advocacy on campuses.

Mass student protest movements started to gain momentum in the early 20th century with students at historically Black colleges pushing for fair treatment, and students in the 1930s taking pledges not to participate in wars of aggression. But it was the protests of the tumultuous 1960s that established the modern tradition of campus activism.

“It became a kind of rite of passage and it created a new student type ... the campus radical,” said Steven Mintz, a historian at the University of Texas at Austin.

Cleveland Sellers, a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, said the idealism of college students — as well as the daily indignities of living in the Jim Crow South — made students the natural vanguard of his era’s racial justice movements.

Sellers, now 79, came of age as a young Black man in South Carolina in the aftermath of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation case and the brutal murder of Emmett Till. Inspired by the Black student-led sit-in movement at local drug stores across the Carolinas, Sellers started protesting segregation during his time as a Howard University student, eventually rising through the ranks of the SNCC, as the influential student group was known.

In 1968 , Sellers was famously convicted for inciting a riot at South Carolina State University where Black students were protesting segregation at a local bowling alley. Three students were shot and killed by police. Sellers, who was injured and ultimately served seven months on the trumped-up charge, said today’s student-led protests — and the backlash to them — remind of his days as an organizer.

“The conservatives — they’re doing the same thing they did to us,” Sellers said, “and all that does is encourage more students to get involved.”

College students are uniquely suited to lead social movements in part because of their flexible schedules, and because they are away from home, often for the first time, in an environment that encourages inquiry and questioning of the status quo, said Davarian Baldwin, professor of American Studies at Trinity College. It’s natural some students are inspired to change the world during these years, Baldwin said.

“Certain segments of society would say they are being indoctrinated but I would say they are being challenged and seeing things from a new perspective,” Baldwin said. “They are coming into adulthood and figuring out what kind of person they want to be.”

The Vietnam War prompted some of the largest, most violent protests on college campuses and helped to define a generation. At Kent State University in May 1970, the National Guard shot and killed four unarmed students protesting the Vietnam War, sparking a nationwide student strike.

One month earlier, about 3,000 protesters battled police officers in Harvard Square, resulting in about 200 injuries, according to a Boston Globe story at the time. The organizing group, the November Action Coalition, said the demonstration was meant to protest the war and the recent trial of Black Panther chairman Bobby Seale. Students occupied buildings and organized marches across New England to raise awareness.

Larry Ladd, a higher education consultant, has seen student uprising from both sides. As a UMass Amherst student, he protested against the Vietnam War and acted as a negotiator between students and campus administrators to resolve several takeovers of school buildings without police involvement. A decade later, as an administrator at Tufts University, Ladd climbed through a window to get into his office to make payroll because student protesters had taken over the building to protest a tenure denial .

“We were just constantly trying to make change,” Ladd, of Falmouth, said of his UMass days. “You were working against the tide and you were relying on your moral conviction and political skill to get things done.”

Students at the time were also pushing to “change universities for the better,” Ladd said, including getting the academic curriculum at UMass to be less rigid and more diverse.

Similarly, students today are also “asking questions about what kind of school do they want to be a part of, and what are the values that they want to share with the people that they’re in an intellectual community with?” said Harvard historian Erik Baker, who last week spoke to students at Harvard’s encampment.

Student activists often draw critics, including those frustrated with disruptions caused by protesters, and some who trivialize their causes.

There is a history of denigrating protesters as “hyper-sensitive, coddled, and in a sense, weak,” said Nicholas F. Bloom, a historian at Harvard. At the same time, he said, student protesters are also characterized as “capable of extraordinary violence that warrants city police officers coming in and threatening them.”

“In the end, they are just human beings engaged in social issues in a way that the structures of work and life don’t allow for once you leave college,” Bloom said.

Today, some of the pro-Palestinian activists have been accused of antisemitism, and criticized for creating unsafe environments for Jewish peers. Faculty members and administrators have acknowledged that both antisemitism and Islamophobia have increased since the start of the war.

At Dartmouth, the anti-apartheid demonstrations ended abruptly in January 1986 , when a group of conservative students took a sledgehammer to the structures in the middle of the night, in the name of campus beautification. The destruction caused an uproar on the Ivy League campus, which was already grappling with racial tensions and issues related to diversity.

Students occupied an administrative building demanding those responsible for destroying the shanties be suspended . But then something unexpected happened, Metzger said: the incident helped build momentum for the protesters’ call for Dartmouth, and other schools, to divest from companies doing business in South Africa, which the school’s Board of Trustees approved a few years later .

“I think what you see on campuses right now is very possibly going to turn into the same thing,” Metzger said. “When you see these excessive responses to protests about principled issues, it tends to change the tide of public opinion.”

Dr. Iman Hakim, Dean of the University of Arizona’s Zuckerman College of Public Health, Dr. Gabriela Valdez, Director of Global Education for the college’s Global Health Institute, and Justin Dutram, UArizona Assistant Vice President for Latin America and Mexico, traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to meet with leadership from the Universidad del Valle de México (UVM). The trip enabled UArizona and UVM to continue building their partnership and discuss the expansion of the dual degree program between the two institutions that enables students from Mexico to earn their BS in Public Health at the same time as their degree at UVM.

The delegation from the UArizona met with leadership from UVM including Raúl Caraballo Guevara, National Academic Vice President, Mary Anne Colin Gascón, National Director of Internationalization, and Dr. Blanca Aurora Hernández Cruz, National Director of Medicine and Dentistry, over the course of two days. They also met with the incoming cohort of 38 dual degree UVM medical students. Discussion topics included the design of a positive student experience for UVM dual degree students, and the expansion of the dual degree BS in Public Health program to include UVM majors in psychology, physiotherapy, nursing, dentistry, and pharmaco-biotechnological chemistry. Dr. Hakim and Dr. Valdez also participated in a panel discussion about women in health leadership, and attended the opening event for a new dentistry clinic.

“We had a great visit to Universidad del Valle de México campus Zapopan where we discussed new programs and ways we can strengthen our partnership,” said Dr. Valdez, “Meeting current and future Zuckerman College of Public Health students was a highlight. Thanks to our hosts Mary Anne Colin Gascón, Blanca Aurora Hernandez Cruz, Raúl Caraballo Guevara, and everyone at UVM for their outstanding welcome! Thanks to Dean Iman Hakim and AVP Justin Dutram for all their support for this growing partnership.”

This pioneering collaboration, rooted in a commitment by both institutions to elevate international education, began with a dual degree program where students will pursue Medicine at UVM and Public Health (BS) at the UArizona’s Zuckerman College of Public Health. The dual degree program will equip graduates with a comprehensive skill set, blending medical expertise with a deep understanding of public health, setting the stage for impactful contributions to healthcare services and community health in Mexico.

This innovative partnership was initiated and led from the UArizona side, by Dr. Valdez and AVP Dutram. Everyone involved in the recent visit felt very positive about the discussions among leadership and students and the opportunities for collaboration moving forward.

“We live in an interconnected world, and our countries share many of the same health challenges,” said Dr. Hakim, “this partnership will help us educate the next generation of health leaders who can find solutions to emerging health threats and build a safer, healthier, happier world for all.”

April 25, 2024 - US university protests

By Elise Hammond, Chandelis Duster, Kathleen Magramo, Elizabeth Wolfe, Aya Elamroussi, Lauren Mascarenhas and Tori B. Powell, CNN

Our live coverage of the pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses has moved here .

Progress in negotiations between Columbia protesters and administrators, university says

From CNN’s Paradise Afshar

Negotiations between Columbia University administrators and pro-Palestinian protesters who've been occupying a campus lawn with a sprawling encampment "have shown progress and are continuing as planned," the school said in a statement late Thursday.

"For several days, a small group of faculty, administrators, and University Senators have been in dialogue with student organizers to discuss the basis for dismantling the encampment, dispersing, and following University policies going forward," the university said.

"We have our demands; they have theirs."

The university also denied rumors that the NYPD had been called to campus, calling them "false."

Some context: Columbia announced late Tuesday that it had given protesters a midnight deadline to agree to dismantle their encampment. But the university then said early Wednesday that it had extended the talks for another 48 hours . If no agreement is reached, the school has said it will consider "alternative options," which many protesters have interpreted to mean calling in police to clear the site.

Protests continue at campuses across the US as more arrests are announced. Here’s the latest

A wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests is rippling across the US, with hundreds of people arrested at universities throughout the country this week.

At New York's Columbia University,  the epicenter of the demonstrations,  protesting students said they won’t disperse until the school agrees to cut ties with Israeli academic institutions and disinvest its funds from entities connected to Israel, among other demands. Protesters at other campuses have similar demands .

The campus encampments spreading across the nation have brought together students from a variety of backgrounds — including Palestinians, Arabs, Jews and Muslims — to decry Israel's bombardment of Gaza .

Here are the latest developments:

Columbia University : The faculty senate is expected to vote on a resolution admonishing the school’s president, Minouche Shafik, on Friday over several of her decisions, according to The New York Times. Shafik has faced criticism for authorizing police to shut down student protests on campus.

Brown University: The university identified about 130 students who it alleges violated a school conduct code that forbids encampments on campus. Students found responsible will be disciplined depending on their behavior and other factors, including any prior conduct violations, the university said.

Emory University : 28 people were arrested , including 20 Emory community members, during a protest at the school, Vice President for Public Safety Cheryl Elliott said. Troopers deployed pepper balls “to control the unruly crowd” during the protest, Georgie State Patrol said. A group of Democratic Georgia state lawmakers condemned the “ excessive force used by Georgia State Patrol” during arrests at Emory.

Emerson College: More than 100 people were arrested and four police officers injured during an encampment clearing at the Boston liberal arts college, according to the Boston Police Department. President Jay Bernhardt said he recognized and respected "the civic activism and passion that sparked the protest" after dozens of arrests.

Indiana University : At least 33 people were detained on campus Thursday following encampment protests.

George Washington University : DC Metropolitan Police were asked to assist in relocating an “unauthorized protest encampment” on campus, university president Ellen M. Granberg said. The decision came "after multiple instructions made by GWPD to relocate to an alternative demonstration site on campus went unheeded by encampment participants," she said.

University of Southern California : The university canceled its main commencement ceremony  next month, citing "new safety measures in place.” Nearly  100 people have been arrested  on the campus.

University of California, Los Angeles : A "demonstration with encampments" formed at UCLA on Thursday.

Northeastern University: An encampment formed at Northeastern University in Boston, where dozens of protesters were seen forming a human chain around several tents. 

Other campuses: Since last Thursday, several campuses have been protest sites, including the  Massachusetts Institute of Technology , University of Texas at Austin, University of Michigan,  University of New Mexico , University of California, Berkeley, Yale University , and Harvard University.

Protesters at the University of Texas at Austin asked to disperse at 10 p.m.

Protesters at the University of Texas at Austin were asked to leave the campus's South Mall at 10 p.m. local time, university spokesperson Brian Davis told CNN.

No arrests have been made as of 10 p.m., Davis said.

"There is no curfew on campus. Leadership asked that students clear the South Mall at 10 p.m."

Just last night, more than 30 demonstrators were arrested after UT Austin police issued a dispersal at the school.

Protesters at Ohio State University arrested after refusing to disperse, university says

From CNN’s Joe Sutton and Jamiel Lynch

Demonstrators at Ohio State University were arrested on Thursday night after refusing to disperse, according to university spokesperson Benjamin Johnson.

Johnson did not know how many arrests were made.

“Well established university rules prohibit camping and overnight events. Demonstrators exercised their first amendment rights for several hours and were then instructed to disperse. Individuals who refused to leave after multiple warnings were arrested and charged with criminal trespass,” he said.

Columbia University senate is redrafting resolution to admonish school's president, New York Times reports

From CNN's Rob Frehse

Columbia University’s faculty senate is expected to vote Friday on a resolution admonishing embattled school president Minouche Shafik over several of her recent decisions, including calling in police to clear a student encampment last week, the New York Times reports .

The resolution would allow the school senate to avoid a censure vote during a critical time for the school, the Times reports, citing several unnamed senators who attended a closed-door meeting Wednesday. Some feared a censure vote would be perceived as giving in to Republican lawmakers, according to the paper.

A Columbia University spokesperson confirmed Shafik’s closed-door meeting with the senate on Wednesday but would not comment on the resolution to CNN.

 “The President met with the Senate plenary in a closed-door session for close to an hour, giving remarks and taking questions. She reiterated the shared goal of restoring calm to campus so everyone can pursue their educational activities.” 

Some context: Shafik has faced immense criticism from some students, faculty and Democratic lawmakers for her decision to authorize police to break up pro-Palestinian student protests last week— a move that resulted in more than 100 arrests .

Other students, Jewish advocacy groups and Republican lawmakers are slamming Shafik for not cracking down on protests — which they say have included antisemitic rhetoric — both on campus and outside its gates.

Several Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, have called for Shafik to resign.

CNN’s Maria Sole Campinoti contributed to this report.

What to know about the protests erupting on college campuses across the US

From CNN's Jordan Valinsky

Colleges across the country have erupted with pro-Palestinian protests, and school administrators are trying — and largely failing — to defuse the situation.

Several schools have called the police on protesters, leading to the arrests of hundreds across US campuses.

The recent surge in protests have inflamed tensions among students, forcing leadership to decide when free speech on campus crosses a line. The atmosphere was so charged that officials at Columbia – the epicenter of the protests that began last week – announced students can attend classes virtually starting Monday.

Passover, a major Jewish holiday, began this week, heightening fears among a number of Jewish students who have reported hearing antisemitic comments at some of the protests. The anxiety comes as reports of  antisemitic acts have surged  across America since October 7.

When did the protests start?

The situation  escalated last week  at Columbia University, where encampments were organized by  Columbia University Apartheid Divest , a student-led coalition of more than 100 organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace, to protest what they describe as the university’s “continued financial investment in corporations that profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide, and military occupation of Palestine,” according to its news release.

What are they asking for?

Columbia protesters say they won’t disperse until the school commits to a “complete divestment” of its funds from entities connected to Israel.

Other protesters are similarly calling on their campuses to divest from companies that sell weapons, construction equipment, technology services and other items to Israel.

Where else are protests happening?

Since last Thursday, a slew of campuses have had protests and encampments, as well as arrests. That includes the  Massachusetts Institute of Technology , University of Texas at Austin, University of Michigan, University of New Mexico and University of California, Berkeley.

Police   arrested nearly 100 protesters at the University of Southern California Wednesday after a dispersal order.

At Emerson College, more than 100 people were arrested Wednesday during a pro-Palestinian protest, according to the Boston Police Department.

Yale University police  arrested at least 45 protesters Monday  on suspicion of criminal trespassing, though dozens remained Tuesday.

Harvard University officials suspended a pro-Palestinian student organization for allegedly violating school policies.

Brown University says about 130 students violated school policy banning encampments

From CNN’s Isabel Rosales and Devon Sayers

Brown University has identified about 130 students who it alleges violated a school conduct code that forbids encampments on campus, a university spokesperson said.

The university's Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards has notified the students, who were identified through ID checks, spokesperson Brian Clark said in a release.

An encampment of about 90 people had formed on the school's Providence, Rhode Island campus Wednesday morning, according to Brown.

"Encampment on Brown University’s historic and residential greens is a violation of University policy, and participants in the encampment have been verbally informed of this fact and that they will face conduct proceedings,” the school's release said.

Students found responsible will be disciplined depending on their behavior and other factors, including any prior conduct violations, the university said, noting students could face probation or separation from the school.

“The University continues to ask individuals in or in immediate proximity to the encampment to present their Brown IDs for two reasons: to verify association with Brown for safety and security reasons, and to appropriately address potential violations of policy."

Protesters at Emory University briefly clash with police

From CNN's Elizabeth Wolfe

Protesters briefly clashed with police at Emory University in Georgia on Thursday, the university told CNN.

A confrontation between protesters and police outside the school's Candler School of Theology prompted an "increased law enforcement presence" on campus, according to the university.

"A group of about 100 people left the Quad and marched to the Candler School of Theology, where some protesters pinned police officers against building doors and attempted to access the building," the university said.

"The crowd ultimately returned to the Quad before dispersing."

Video from CNN affiliate WSB shows some protesters using large posters to push into a line of police officers whose backs are against the doors of the building. As officers push back against the posters, one demonstrator chucks their sign at the row of officers.
