Arrival Night
The weekend of January 18 & 19 had the CELP Team work-ing late into the night, welcoming the new Go Teachers to campus. After a full day of travel, customs, lost luggage and flight delays they finally arrived. Here are a few Go Teachers enjoying some pizza at their new home in Cole Village.
Hi Everyone, My Name is Rose Vidal. I am studying Anthropology with a minor in History. I enjoy meeting new people, Renaissance Festivals, and Doctor Who. My message to the Go Teachers: Even though we are here to study, NMSU is all about discovery and with everything here to do and see, become part of the family. Broaden your horizons, spread your wings, you will never know what you like until you try. I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you .
