LEARNING WHERE THE LEARNING HAPPENS

A new classroom at Duranes Early Childhood Center is creating a new kind of learning opportunity for UNM College of Education & Human Sciences students.

Through a partnership with Albuquerque Public Schools, students in our Family & Child Studies program will have the opportunity to take class on site at Duranes and put what they are learning into practice in a dedicated learning lab classroom. Here, future early childhood professionals can develop their skills, practice teaching and connect classroom learning with the real-world environments where children learn and grow.

It’s another way COEHS is bringing preparation and practice together, creating meaningful learning experiences for our students while strengthening the partnerships that help New Mexico’s children and families thrive.

We’re excited to see this new space come to life and even more excited to see what our students will do in it!

YOUR WELL-BEING COMES FIRST

With two days left before classes begin, take a moment to check in with yourself. Preparing for college isn’t only about buying supplies and organizing your schedule—it also means knowing where to turn when you need care or support.

UNM Student Health and Counseling (SHAC) offers medical and counseling services for students right here on campus. Students also have free, 24/7 access to virtual medical care, emotional support, scheduled counseling, health coaching, and more through TimelyCare.

Taking care of your health gives you the foundation to stay focused, manage challenges, and keep moving forward.

PLAN WITH PURPOSE

Three days to go! Now is the perfect time to turn the first-week rush into a plan you can actually follow.

Review your syllabi, write down important deadlines, organize your class materials, and allow extra time for commuting, parking, and finding each classroom. Even a simple plan can help you stay focused when assignments, meetings, and responsibilities begin filling your calendar.

And remember, the COEHS Pathways for Academic Support and Success (PASS) Office is part of your team. From academic advisement and peer mentoring to workshops and student resources, the PASS team is ready to answer questions, help you identify your next steps, and keep you moving toward your goals.

You don’t have to plan everything perfectly. Begin with what you know, adjust as you go, and let your COEHS community help you find your path.
