Celebrating our San Juan College family

In this edition of the Communicator, we are celebrating the many accomplishments and achievements of our San Juan College family. One of these includes the achievements of the Academic and Career Engagement Center (ACE). The ACE Center was recently named the number one Center in New Mexico. Read more about the ACE Center here. Also in this issue, we are honoring the commitments of our employees, furthering the success of our students and community. Read here about the awards given for their outstanding efforts at the Fall 2023 Convocation session.

Celebrating our students

Congratulations to Dalilah Tsosie who was recently crowned Ms. Indigenous San Juan College. Please read about her and her platform  and learn more about her role representing San Juan College.

Get ready for the holidays

Mark your calendars for December 2 when San Juan College and the Office of Student Engagement and Campus Life present our annual gift to the community with the Luminarias display. The evening also includes the Planetarium’s Stargaze in the Connie Gotsch Theatre Courtyard. The sounds of the season will ring throughout campus as KSJE 90.9-FM broadcasts Christmas carols. In addition to your holiday plans, plan to spend some time with family and San Juan College celebrating the many events we have scheduled for the holiday season.

From purchasing that special gift at the annual bowl sale, to enjoying one of our musical concerts, to viewing the stars in our planetarium, I invite you and your family to visit San Juan College this holiday season. We love welcoming people to our campus, especially to share the many talents of our students and community members. Wishing you and your family the joy of the season and happiness throughout the coming year.
