Ceremony slated for University Stadium May 11, 2021
It’s a time for “new beginnings,” a transition from one facet of life to another. A time for celebration, recognition and reflection. On Saturday, May 15 at 9 a.m. at University Stadium, approximately 3,100 students from The University of New Mexico will graduate as part of the institution’s 2021 Spring Commencement, a ceremony that honors all doctoral, master’s, bachelor s and associate s degree candidates from all schools, colleges, and degree-granting programs.
This is UNM’s first in-person commencement ceremony since December 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States Department of Energy last Friday announced $99 million in grants to study technology that removes carbon from industrial exhaust and uses it for other purposes, like manufacturing. More than half that money went to Wyoming’s Integrated Test Center, a facility based out of the Dry Fork Power Station in Gillette.
The same day, the DOE also announced a $3 million grant to support Wyoming-based research “focused on expanding and transforming the use of coal and coal-based resources to produce coal-based products, using carbon ore, rare earth elements and critical minerals,” delivering on a December letter of support co-signed by Wyoming Congress members Sen. John Barrasso and Rep. Liz Cheney
