Constitution Day Celebration




The ENMU-Roswell Campus celebrated Constitution Day with the pledge and the reading of the preamble this morning. Following a posting of the colors ceremony by New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe, Crystal Pollei then sang the national anthem.
Following Crystal's beautiful anthem rendition was the "Munching of the Donuts Ceremony." This culinary event commemorates Thomas Jefferson and John Adam's insatiable love for donuts. Reportedly, the original draft of the Constitution was spotted with chocolate smears and sugar stains. Despite this fact, the US Constitition is arguably one of the most important documents ever written. Please take some time today to read the Constitution! It's a great document and deserves special recognition.

You voted for it----Twiga

Terry and Stephen introduce "Twiga." Twiga means "giraffe" in Swahili. Stephen means "smart student" in Old English. Both Terry and Stephen are sporting the new Student Support Service lab coats. These smart fashion accessories not only keep students warm, but also are incredibly attractive. Should you wish to visit Twiga, or know more about the Trio programs, please take the elevator in front of the bookstore. Once inside the elevator push #2. If you cannot follow these simple instructions, take the stairs!
