We welcome you to Chicano Programs!
Chicano Programs supports students of ALL ethnic/racial backgrounds.
However, for the purposes of our work, the word “Chicano” in the name of our office, is intended to also include students who identify as Hispanic, Mexican-American, Latino, Puerto Rican, U.S.Cuban, etc.
We specialize in supporting first-generation/low income college students in navigating the university environment.
Mission Statement
Chicano Programs at NMSU is a support service that promotes and empowers all student success through education, advocacy and development of cultural literacy.
