The UNM STEM Research Symposium is a free, student-led collaborative effort between UNM's graduate student associations. The annual event provides graduate students in STEM fields a platform to present their research findings to the general public.
Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
The STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico’s regional universities, community colleges, and tribal colleges in the research funded by the New Mexico SMART Grid Center at UNM, NMSU, and NMT. Up to 12 students are selected to participate each summer.
Come learn how they achieved this status as NMSU and DACC strive to join this elite group. The keynote will be followed by a workshop for educators guiding us in how we can help this initiative in the classes we teach and with the students we advise.

Join us for a day with the various New Mexico Non-Profit Conservation Groups. They differ in their scope, ranging from legislation and advocacy to boots on the ground stewardship and conservation work. We will start our day on-site with the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance Cibola Wilderness Rangers to learn about the ground monitoring in the local wilderness areas through their partnership with the Forest Service. We will access the Wilderness boundary (~0.5 miles in) via the Pino trail, starting at Elena Gallegos.
Please join us for the Research Spotlight Forum, focused on the topic of Cybersecurity. Sandia Labs and its strategic partnered research universities will present on their current work and collaboration interests in relation to this topic.  Lobo Rainforest, 101 Broadway, NW, Albuquerque, NM 87012
