The University of New Mexico is strengthening its commitment to student and faculty well-being through "The Pack Has Your Back," a new initiative designed to connect the campus community with essential resources.
UNM is a campus built on community and support. "The Pack Has Your Back" initiative reinforces that foundation by connecting students, faculty, and staff with resources that promote academic success, mental health, financial stability, and overall well-being.
As part of the initiative, The Pack Has Your Back will be distributing healthy snacks and uplifting messages this week at locations on both sides of Lomas, thanks to a donation from UNM Food. Locations include:
Tuesday, March 11, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
