Family & Friends Weekend Oct. 21st-22nd 2022

 

Family & Friends Weekend is an annual event where students and loved ones participate in activities to help better their understanding and love for NMSU. Whether you join us for 1 event or 12, we hope that by the end of our Familly & Friends Weekend, you can see why your student (as well as the rest of us) believe that New Mexico State University is a great place to be.
