Our PA Students, Class of 2027, have been giving back to our community in meaningful ways. From helping clean up the Bosque to preparing a home-cooked meal for families at Ronald McDonald House New Mexico, our students continue to show what it means to serve others.

We are proud to recognize and celebrate all of the students, faculty, staff, and friends of the PA Program who volunteered their time, energy, and hearts to make these experiences possible!

Serving our community. Supporting one another. Making a difference.
