Chicano Programs is operational from Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm. Students can email Dr. Río Lopez at aclopez@nmsu.edu if you have any questions, especially related to academic/financial aide issues.

We are also posting useful information on our Chicano Programs Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram.

Chicano Programs

Supports students and community members from all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Historically, the Chicano Programs has focused on supporting first-generation college students in navigating and succeeding in the university environments, particularly those who identify and acknowledge that each person experiences Latinidad in unique ways. Therefore, we are committed to ongoing learning and transformative practices that take down historical barriers of xenophobia, systemic racism, and other forms of bigotry through our information outlets, collaborations, and programmatic efforts. 

Our program description and mission statement are ever-evolving and created in collaboration with the students we serve.
