This event will be held both in-person (at NMT’s Macey Center) and on Zoom. If you want to join us on ZOOM: tinyurl.com/3j65sdc3.

Last year’s VOW panel had a record turnout with about 40 in-person audience members and 20 on Zoom. The topic was “Our Climate, Our Community.” We anticipate an even greater turnout this year with the partnership with AISES. 

We are proud to list sponsorship by the New Mexico Tech Performing Arts Series, AISES Socorro Branch, the New Mexico Tech Graduate Student Association, AAUW Socorro, the Rotary Club of Socorro, Galapagos Federal Systems, Giuseppe Space Enterprises, and Dr. Stephen Wells, president of New Mexico Tech.
