Aggie Experience

Greetings from New Mexico State University! We are thrilled that you are interested in attending one our Aggie Experience programs scheduled for this fall! Aggie Experience is an event that provides high school seniors the opportunity to explore a day in the life of an NMSU student. This year’s events will be held Saturday, Saturday, September 29, 2012 and Saturday, October 20, 2012 with check-in from 8:30 am-9:30 am at Corbett Center Student Union.

As an Aggie Experience participant, students and parents are able to actively engage with academic colleges, meet with representatives from a variety of student organizations, and experience the excitement found in cheering on the Aggies by attending a football game on September 29 against University of Texas at San Antonio. (Tickets may be purchased at ticketmaster.com)

Additional program highlights include: touring NMSU’s beautiful desert oasis campus, taste testing at Taos Restaurant, and visiting several residence hall communities.

We hope that you will consider joining us for this important event and as, always Go Aggies!

As a visitor during Aggie Experience, you may park in lots designated for students, staff and faculty—no tickets will be issued to visitors who do not have a parking permit (see maps at http://nmsuparking.com/Map2010.pdf and http://malcs.nmsu.edu/documents/areamap.gif).
