Brief History of UNM-ValenciaThe University of New Mexico (UNM) began serving the educational needs of Valencia Countyin August 1978 with the establishment of the UNM–Eastern Valencia County Satellite Center.The creation of this Satellite Center ended nearly two decades of work by members of the LosLunas and Belén school districts to provide a stable source of post-secondary education andvocational training in Valencia County. A total of 93,000 in seed money was raised to helpopen the facility.In 1979, the State Legislative Finance Committee indicated that satellite centers, such as the onein Belén, should be established as branch campuses to be supported by an ongoing mill levy aswell as with student tuition and general fund appropriations.The local community indicated its continued support by voting overwhelmingly in favor ofcreating a branch campus. Additional assistance came from the Board of Educational Finance,the New Mexico State Legislature, and the Eastern Valencia County Higher EducationCommittee, Inc. As a result, a formal proposal to establish the branch was accepted by UNM inMarch 1981.Classes began in August of that year. Technical certificates and associate degrees could now becompleted locally for the first time in Valencia County history. Continued growth in enrollmentand program offerings soon created a pressing need for additional space and new facilities. Anew campus in Tomé was built in response to this need, opening its doors in the summer of1986.A Library and Learning Resource Center were added in 1994. Extensive renovations in thespring of 1995 provided additional classroom and office space, and the completion of the StudentCommunity Center in the spring of 2000 added additional classrooms, office space, and awellness/fitness center. In the spring of 2005, a new Health Sciences building opened up,providing a nursing lab, anatomy and physiology lab, allied health lab, presentation lecture hall,and four classrooms, two of which are equipped with student workstations. Also in the spring of2005, an instructional technology center (the current Teaching and Learning Center) opened inthe Learning Resource Center, providing instructional technology and other teachingenhancement training opportunities for faculty.An ADN Nursing program began in 2010 and gained full ACEN accreditation in 2017. Manynew technical and academic programs have begun in the past five years, and UNM Valencia nowoffers thirty-five degrees and certificates.Page 1 of 56New Faculty Orientation Manual

The Role of a Branch CampusThe University of New Mexico (UNM) has established branch campuses to serve the citizens ofNew Mexico more fully and provide the highest quality of education for students pursuing postsecondary education at different locations throughout the state. Branch campuses respondspecifically to the unique needs and multi-cultural backgrounds of their respective communitiesby offering community education programs, career education (including certificate and associatedegree programs), and transfer programs that prepare students for upper-division entry into fouryear colleges and universities.Branch campuses utilize many resources in their service districts and therefore function asintegral parts of their surrounding communities. They are thoroughly committed to assisting inthe economic development of their service areas.The UNM branch campuses are considered fully-integrated component colleges.
