banned from all other areas. View CNM’s policy on

support, outstanding performance, innovative idea or
problem solving. Click here to nominate a student

UNM professors Tanya Ivanova-Sullivan and Natasha
Kolchevska will discuss Russian culture and politics
during a guest speaker lecture series titled “From Russia
With(out) Love.” The first lecture – “Size Matters, Or
Does It” – will delve into the dynamics of today’s Russia
compared with the Soviet Union and the recent writings
on Vladimir Putin’s strategies and geopolitical actions. It
will take place on March 25 from 3-4 p.m. in Smith
Brasher Hall, Room 132. The second lecture –
“Contextualizing Culture: Russian Self-Image and
Perception of Others” – will focus on how Russians
perceive themselves and others, particularly Americans.
It will take place April 8 from 3-4 p.m. in Smith Brasher
Hall, Room 132.

graduation, retention and educational success for CNM’s
Hispanic/Latino student population. The Hispanic
Heritage Task Team, which also organizes various
events, welcomes new members. Contact Elisa Castillo at
224-4000 Ext. 51862 or ecastillo2@cnm.edu for more

I am pleased to announce that CNM has officially
rescheduled the CTE Open House for Friday, April 10,
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. I know we have a few events
scheduled on our Main Campus on the same day (Skills
USA and Recruit 50, to name a few), but this was the
best date for APS and CNM given that PARCC testing
and spring break occur during the next several weeks –
and our faculty will be on break beginning in early May .
The Purchase Order has been issued for the clocks and
we expect for them to arrive this Wednesday March 4th.
We plan to install all the Controllers/Transmitters by the
end of this month and we will install all the clocks during
the term break in May.
Will you be incorporating Earth Day topics or activities
into your classroom plans the week of April 22? Any
CNM faculty members planning special speaking
engagements or activities in response to Earth Day are
asked to contact Sionna Grassbaugh at
sgrassbaugh@cnm.edu to get your event added to a
college-wide list of activities.
