NMSU University Museum

Congratulations to Samantha Nava, who defended her MA thesis yesterday! Her thesis, "Stories of Querencia from San Miguel del Bado,” uses oral history interviews to understand how heirs of the San Miguel del Bado Land Grant maintain their sense of connection to that place. Samantha is an essential part of the NMSU University Museum team, and is currently working on a grant-funded project to develop bilingual interpretive material. We will miss her when she leaves us in the fall, but are excited to see what she does next!

Congratulations to Samantha Nava, winner of the College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s Graduate Award for Excellence! We are so proud of you!!!
