GIVING TUESDAY 2022
Giving Tuesday is a special day of the year where thousands of NMSU Aggie alumni and students from around the country, rally to support the mission of NMSU. This day of giving benefits all of our students by funding scholarships, supporting students in need, and creating new opportunities in the classroom, lab, and on the field. We would appreciate you making a donation online on Tuesday, November 29th in support of the Giving Tuesday movement.
