At UNM, we celebrate our diverse campus
At UNM, we respect and value the diversity of our students, faculty and staff. We have a range of support services, many of which closely collaborate. Learn more about resources for faculty and see the resources available for students.
Our areas of academic study are diverse, too, and include programs in Chicano/Chicana studies, Africana studies and Native American studies.
We support faculty and their families, no matter what shape your family takes
At UNM, family support is tightly connected to success in the workplace. The Advance at UNM program is working with campus leaders to be sure UNM has some of the most family friendly policies in higher education. This includes recognition and support of domestic partners and same-sex marriages, and the availability of universal bathrooms.
We want you to succeed both in the classroom and with your research and scholarship.
UNM has several offices and programs dedicated to helping faculty do their best work, whether it’s in the lab, the field or the classroom. Read about some of the resources or visit the UNM Research page.
