Student Recruitment and Outreach

The Student Recruitment and Outreach team works in the community to showcase the educational opportunities available at CNM.

Our team works with prospective students to help them get started on their college journey. Whether you are looking to attend college for the first time as an adult, a high school student wanting a jump start on college, returning to college after several years, or graduating from high school – we’re here to help!

We provide targeted outreach by building school and community partnerships, engaging with youth, conducting orientation for new students and working with system-impacted individuals through our Formerly Incarcerated Reintegration Success Team (FIRST).

For assistance, call (505) 224-3352 or select one of the options below.
