Exploring the Next Step at UNM–Gallup! ✨🎓
Today, a group of our GMCS juniors had the opportunity to tour the University of New Mexico – Gallup Campus, exploring programs, facilities, and postsecondary pathways available right here in our community.
Students learned about:
✔ Academic programs and degree options
✔ Career and technical pathways
✔ Dual credit and transfer opportunities
✔ Student services and campus resources
✔ What it truly means to be college-ready
From walking through labs and classrooms to hearing directly from UNM–Gallup staff and student representatives, our juniors gained real insight into what their future could look like after high school.
Experiences like this help students:
🔹 Visualize themselves in college
🔹 Connect career goals to postsecondary programs
🔹 Build confidence about life after graduation
🔹 Take ownership of their Next Step Plan
Thank you to the UNM–Gallup team for welcoming our students and investing in their future!
Community, families, and friends — drop some encouragement below for our juniors as they begin thinking seriously about their postsecondary journey!
