Dear English Majors and Graduate Students,
We are so glad to have you studying with us as we navigate the challenges and changes caused by COVID-19. Most of us are learning (and teaching!) under entirely new circumstances, and often online.
The English Department faculty and staff are here for you, to support you in any way we can as we all work together to make it through these extraordinary times. Whatever challenges you are facing, we hope you will reach out to us.
To those of you who are graduating this term: you can make it. If you need help, ask. And whether or not NMSU holds its usual Pan Am ceremony, we will be celebrating with you.
Below are some resources to help you get online and navigate college, and the English Deparment in particular during COVID-19. Please, stay in touch, and stay well!
Warmly,
Liz Schirmer, Department Head
