The Board of Regents of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) requests nominations and applications for its next President. After 29 years at the university, and 23 years of service as President, Dr. Daniel H. Lopez has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2016. Under his thoughtful leadership, the university has expanded the number of academic offerings, grown enrollment, built many new facilities, and increased its portfolio of grants and contracts from $15 million to nearly $100 million. The University is seeking a visionary leader to continue the university’s history of excellence in education, research and public engagement.

 

Founded in 1889, NMT is a public university granting bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees specializing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The campus is located in the central Rio Grande Valley city of Socorro, New Mexico, just under 80 miles south of Albuquerque. With an undergraduate and graduate student population of approximately 2,100, and with a faculty and staff of over 770, the university is a world leader in many areas of research including hydrology, astrophysics, atmospheric physics, geophysics, homeland security, information technology, geosciences, energetic materials engineering, and petroleum recovery. New Mexico Tech immediately follows Princeton, Harvard, Pomona College and Haverford College in a National Science Foundation list of institutions with the highest conversion of bachelors to advanced degrees. The main campus covers 101 acres with administrative and academic buildings, residence halls, and research facilities. Additional information about the university can be found at its website located at http://www.nmt.edu

 

The new President must be a tireless leader who shares a passion for NMT’s mission to serve the public through education, applied research, service, professional development, and teacher education, benefitting the people of New Mexico and beyond. The successful candidate will be a collaborative and energetic leader who will nurture and expand relationships with surrounding communities, corporations, governmental agencies, foundations, and institutions of higher education. The President must also demonstrate a passion for serving the needs of first-generation college students, rural New Mexico, and New Mexico’s diverse population.
