Welcome to the University of New Mexico!

Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Barbara Rodríguez

It is my true pleasure to welcome you to the University of New Mexico. As you step into your new roles, know that you are becoming part of a community that cares deeply about its mission and the people who bring it to life.

UNM is a place where our shared commitment to teaching, research and creative works, and service drives meaningful change. Each of you brings a unique perspective to our campus, and I am genuinely excited about the energy, insight, and passion you will contribute.

As Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs – and as someone who has walked this path as a UNM faculty member myself – I want you to know that your work matters. Our students, our state, and our broader communities are counting on us to be compassionate, collaborative, creative, and committed. And I have every confidence that you will rise to that call.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, connect with colleagues, and explore all that UNM has to offer. We are here to support you, and we are so glad you’re here.
