Chicano Programs is a an office that supports students and advocates for students at NMSU.
Dr. Laura Gutiérrez-Spencer, the former director, founded NMSU´s Immigrant Student Issues Committee in 2005. Undocumented and DACA NMSU/DACC or other NMSU Branch students can contact Dr. Gutiérrez-Spencer about issues that you are facing or questions that you may have about your life on campus. Chicano Programs cannot give legal advice and we urge students facing these issues to contact a licensed immigration attorney. However, you may have non-legal issues where we may be able to provide information and support. Chicano Program's services are confidential.
