Yesterday morning, university and community leaders broke ground for the Western New Mexico University-Deming Learning Center. According to a news release, the property is within walking distance of Deming High School and Mimbres Memorial Hospital, raising the potential to increase student enrollment especially in healthcare disciplines as well as meeting the needs of high school students who are dual enrolled. WNMU received $2.5 million during the 2020 legislative session and the passage of the General Obligation Bond 3 during the general election is supporting the next phase of the project.
