WNMU to host commencement in person and virtually
From Staff Reports
SILVER CITY – Western New Mexico University will host a hybrid commencement ceremony on Friday, May 7. Graduates can choose to walk the outdoor stage or participate virtually.
The outdoor ceremony will take place at Ben Altamirano Stadium, where capacity will be limited. Every graduate who opts to participate in the spring 2021 commencement ceremony in person gets to invite four people to be admitted to the stadium. An e-ticketing system will ensure graduates can provide entry documentation for the family members and friends of their choice. Guests will need to wear masks and social distancing will be enforced.

Harmony exists.
That’s the word from two outdoor market managers who coordinate separate, simultaneous events Saturday mornings in downtown Silver City.
Organized by the Future Forge Makerspace, the Makers Market held its first event of its second season at Main Street Plaza over the weekend, and an informal customer poll showed that almost every visitor there intended to or already had dropped by the Silver City Farmers’ Market located just a short distance to the north.
