CNM Foundation
Remembering Aaron Wilson
Aaron Wilson, full-time Math faculty member since 2013 and Mathematics Department Chair since 2022.
Aaron’s dedication to education was evident not only in his teaching but also in his leadership role as Math Department Chair. Aaron was deeply committed to his students’ success and worked tirelessly to remove barriers that often stood in the way of learning math. As a statewide leader of the New Mexico Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges and the mathematics corequisite ECHO program, Aaron helped shape the path for students in lasting and meaningful ways. Students and colleagues alike knew Aaron as someone who could make even the most complex mathematical concepts accessible and engaging.
He was deeply respected throughout the CNM community for his kindness, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to student success. His colleagues remember him as a thoughtful leader who always put students first.
CNM extends our deepest condolences to Aaron’s family, friends, and colleagues.
