One of the photos shows a wintry scene, with shovel-wielding neighbors digging out a red 1957 Lincoln Premiere belonging to World War II veteran Charlie Gattman and Lillian Gattman. The vehicle was ordinary enough for its time. The couple inside it, however, was anything but.
As exciting as it is to see Lobos walk the graduation stage – it is a bittersweet time for the campus community as we watch our rising stars take their place in the constellation of life.
Every May and December, the University Communication and Marketing team highlights Lobos who showed exceptional leadership, courage, dedication and endurance during their time at UNM. These inspirational graduates come from all walks of life – different colleges, programs and extracurriculars. In finding these students, the UCAM team relies on those working directly with them on a daily basis. Each of these graduates were either put forward by a faculty or staff member or chosen based on the stories they shared in their graduation paperwork.
