The projects will increase job growth and retention in the state of New Mexico, allow students across disciplines and New Mexico businesses to participate in a maker\u2019s space to learn new technologies such as 3D printing and augmented reality, and create collaborative project development. The proposal will also fund much needed health and safety updates to the graduate student space in the Humanities building, replacing carcinogenic carpets and unsecured doors. Renovations could improve the health and safety of hundreds of graduate students and over 4,000 undergraduates affected by these outdated workspaces. The collaboration between English and Engineering is foundational for creating ADA compliant signage and opportunities for our UNM community and put UNM on the map as an innovative destination university with community impact.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1626\" style=\"width: 330px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1626\" class=\"wp-image-1626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Jerry-and-Lorraine-at-GPSA-desk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Jerry-and-Lorraine-at-GPSA-desk.jpg 320w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Jerry-and-Lorraine-at-GPSA-desk-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jerry Lavin, Lorraine Mottishaw, and David Puthoff<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1622\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1622\" class=\"wp-image-1622 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day-768x596.jpg 768w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day-1024x795.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day-816x633.jpg 816w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Sarah-at-UNM-Day.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Worland<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1621\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1621\" class=\"wp-image-1621 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia-768x596.jpg 768w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia-1024x795.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia-816x633.jpg 816w, https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gpsa-Grant-and-Dalicia.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grant Heileman and Dalicia Raymond<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Students in attendance from the English department included: EGSA co-presidents Dalicia Raymond and Sarah Worland, EGSA Treasurer Emma Mincks, EGSA Secretary Jerry Lavin, and EGSA member David Puthoff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English Department Graduate Students and Engineering Graduate Students attended UNM Day at the Roundhouse state Capitol building in Santa Fe on January 28th, 2019 with GPSA to propose Capitol Outlay projects for renovation and community improvement.
