About Me

..
NMSUWelcome to the NMSU Aggies Network! Brought to you from your fellow Aggie! (Alum 2002)New Mexico State University, or NMSU, is a land-grant university that has its main campus in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The school was founded in 1888 as an agricultural college and preparatory school called New Mexico A&M College. NMSU offers a wide range of programs and awards associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees through its main campus and four community colleges. NMSU's teams are called the Aggies, a nickname derived from the university's agricultural beginnings. Their mascot was formerly known as "Pistol Pete", but Pete was redesigned in 2005 as part of the university's plan to remake its image on the national stage; today, the mascot is known simply as "Pete," whose pistol has been replaced with a lasso. NMSU's colors are crimson and white.

NMSU is broken up into several smaller colleges. These include: * College of Agriculture and Home Economics * College of Arts and Sciences * College of Business * College of Education * College of Engineering * College of Extended Learning * College of Health and Social Services * College of HonorsLas Cruces is also home to the annual Whole Enchilada Fiesta. The fiesta's main attraction is the creation of a very large (on average 10 feet in diameter) flat red enchilada by local restaurant owner Roberto Estrada. Besides this, the fiesta offers live music, rides, food vendors, and other attractions typical of fairs. In fact, the Southern New Mexico State Fair is usually held only a few days after the end of the Whole Enchilada Fiesta. The fiesta's mascot, "Twefie"(taken from the abbreviation of the fiesta's name) is a large red chile pepper wearing a sombrero. At the 2004 event, the Guinness Book of Records confirmed that Estrada had made the world's largest flat enchilada. (There was a pre-existing record for world's longest rolled enchilada, but not for world's largest flat enchilada.)

BIENVENIDOS! Welcome anyone and everyone from the Land of Enchantment or who's had the opportunity to visit our beautiful state! The common grounds we call "home". Finally, I wanted to create a commone place where Aggies (both old and new) can reminisce and share a story or two. How many common stories we share that begin, "remember that time in Juarez...", or how about all those late night study groups gone wrong! Woke up late for your finals with a headache from drinking waaaaaayyyy too much instead of a headache from studying to hard. Wow, those were the days! Welcome back!!!
