The Council of University Presidents supports seven of New Mexico's public universities through information sharing, collaboration, strategic planning, policy development, and community outreach. The Council represents university efforts based on shared goals and a shared vision that fully recognizes and supports the unique strengths of each university. To these ends, the Council focuses on student success, economic development, research and public service and promotes the outstanding efforts of university faculty and staff. The Council recognizes that the well being of the institutions, their faculty, staff and students and the broader public of New Mexico are one and the same.
