Three days before University of New Mexico President Garnett S. Stokes and leadership made the arduous decision to further protect the Pack from a virus that was quickly moving its way into the state, a bustling campus-life of 40,000 faculty, staff and students flooded hallways and classrooms - for so many it would be at least a year before they returned in-person.
Behind the scenes, the University was gearing up for what would turn out to be a year of unprecedented and trying times.
University of New Mexico President Garnett S. Stokes struck an optimistic tone in her annual State of the University address this afternoon, lauding faculty, staff, and students for their leadership, sacrifice, and achievements in the face of “one of the most disruptive eras in our nation’s history.”
“The last twelve months have challenged all of us, and further exposed the divisions and inequities in our society,” said Stokes, who, due to COVID-related restrictions, delivered her remarks virtually from behind the desk in her Scholes Hall office instead of live from the SUB Ballroom. “Through it all, I’ve learned that even in the face of adversity and uncertainty, the state of our university continues to be one of resilience, optimism, curiosity, and extreme compassion.”
