History of Graphic Design Program
The first recorded computer graphic design courses in the Department of Expressive Arts curriculum were ART 111 Computer Graphic Design I and ART 311 Computer Graphic
Design II has been part of the WNMU catalogs since the 1988-1989 academic year, with courses offered for 3 credit units each during the Fall and Spring semesters starting in 1999-2000 Art 111 is an integral component of both the Art Major and Art Minor programs.
The two classes were clustered into a single class time period and taught by one adjunct instructor.
However, by the next catalog 2000-2001, ART 271 Computer Graphic Design and ART 371
Computer Graphic Design II has taken the place of ART 111 and 311, with the new courses categorized as an introductory studio course available in the Fall and Spring semesters, and an advanced studio course offered in the Spring semester, each worth 4 credit units.
The two classes were clustered into a single class time period and taught by one adjunct instructor.
The above two courses bloomed into the first Graphic Design 2-year A.A degree program included in the 2002 catalog with the addition of the following courses:
ART 216 Business and Legal Issues for Artists
The Graphic Design program, developed by Garth Gerstein and Michael Metcalf, combines two graphic design courses with existing art prefix courses to form a 64-credit Associate's degree in Graphic Design within the Department of Expressive Arts Future programs in Video and Animation were also proposed There was a debate on whether to position the program under Applied Technology for potential Perkins grant funding or to keep it within the Art department to maintain a cohesive studio course structure that fosters creativity.
In 2002, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree program was officially included in the academic catalog, marking a significant milestone This year also saw the integration of various graphic design courses into the curriculum for both the BFA and Art Major degree programs, as well as the Art Minor.
The 2005-2006 catalog academic year updated the Graphic Design curriculum:
ART 114 Graphic Design Software I and ART 214 Graphic Design Software II were added to the program
ART 272 Graphic Design Studio expanded from the renamed ART 271 Graphic Design and Typography, while ART 116 was deleted
INITIATION OF THE BACCAULAREATE LEVEL: By the 2006-2007 Academic year, ART 271 was updated to ART 271 Web Design and Typography as well as Art 371 Computer Graphic Web
The integration of ART 471 Advanced Web Design and ART 478 Studio Work in Graphic Design enhances the graphic design concentration, elevating it to a four-year art degree This development qualifies students for Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees.
In the 2007-2008 academic year, the M.A.I.S program introduced a graduate-level graphic design course, ART 578, which is now included in the curriculum and can be taken up to three times as a concentration in graduate studio art.
The two-year graphic design degree has now grown and matured into a graduate level degree in the Masters of Interdisciplinary Study (MAIS) program within eight academic years.
The 2010-2011 WNMU Catalog introduced slight modifications to the Graphic Design Program, including updated wording for Art 115 Electronic Imaging for Design and the inclusion of Clay I and Sculpture I as guided electives.
The updated Associate of Arts in Graphic Design program now consists of 66 credit units, as detailed in the 2011-2012 WNMU Catalog This revised degree integrates courses from ART, DMC, and the new IDEA program, creating a comprehensive curriculum for aspiring graphic designers.
Recommendations from Previous Reviews
Submitted with 2008 Art Program Review
In a memo dated May 1, 2009, VPAA Dr Faye Vowell affirmed the legitimacy of the Art major and the BFA program, advising their continuation She also suggested the establishment of a distinct program review for Graphic Design that incorporates financial data, leading to the submission of this proposal.
Procedures and participants in the Review
The process began with an initial meeting with faculty and staff followed by individuals concentrating on different areas Participants in this review include Gloria Maya,
Michael Metcalf, along with Lisa Ruben, Karyn Neil, and Ann Marie Elder, collaborated to complete the Graphic Design program review document A draft was initially shared before Winter Break and revisited in January This draft was discussed during the January and February 2012 Department Meetings, where Peter Bill and Jun Kim contributed further insights A nearly finalized version was later distributed, incorporating additional feedback from Nikki O’Connell and Ann Marie.
Educational Goals and Objectives of the Program
Equip students for a successful career in graphic design by focusing on essential marketable skills Utilize the latest industry-standard CS5 graphics programs to enhance their expertise in layout, typography, and production, while providing hands-on experience in a creative studio environment.
Use our curriculum to support our existing students and future growth.
Deliver a unique program that in addition to a strong curriculum, enables graphic design students real world internship experience and to benefit from strong interactions with all areas in expressive arts.
Students who are not part of the graphic design program can still take graphic design courses These courses fulfill degree requirements for Art Degrees and are available to all students at the university, including those in Concurrent and Business programs.
Relationship of the Program to the Institutional Mission
The graphic design program at WNMU aligns with the university's mission to excel in teaching and learning for New Mexico's diverse population and beyond Led by a qualified professor with an MFA, the program demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement in higher education It offers students valuable opportunities, particularly for those thriving in a studio environment, to develop problem-solving skills and express their creativity—essential competencies for navigating the challenges of a dynamic global landscape.
The graphic design program also supports the WNMU 2013 Performance Goals – II
Providing Stakeholders Needs – a Create an Art (/) Business Incubator in Expressive Arts which will provide graphic design services to the Silver City community (Appendix 6)
CRITERION B: PROGRAM CURRICULUM AND STRUCTURE
Admission, Retention, Graduation Requirements
There are no specific admissions requirements for the AA Graphic Design Students as there are for the BFA Admission is based on the WNMU open enrollment process.
Retention in the Graphic Design program faces challenges due to the diverse student demographics, including concurrent high school students, those pursuing an Associate's Degree, and students from various art backgrounds seeking basic visual communication skills While students show loyalty to their subject and instructors, tracking their progress is difficult The absence of a full-time faculty member for dedicated program development, proactive advising, and marketing exacerbates these issues, particularly this Fall Semester, when the only graphic design instructor had to reduce their workload This pay reduction led to the Adjunct Professor seeking other employment, raising concerns about the program's continuity Without another MFA-credentialed instructor, retention issues are likely to escalate significantly.
The data presented in the graph and table from the WNMU Data Mart indicates that graphic design students who enroll in Developmental Writing courses face significant challenges in their graphic design studies Despite the small sample size and some irregularities in the data, the findings suggest a clear correlation between taking developmental courses and increased difficulty in graphic design coursework.
The Graphic Design degree requirements align with NASAD guidelines and are clearly outlined in the degree plans Due to challenges in cross-listing courses with the Digital Media Communications Program, certain course substitutions may need to be submitted.
Program Structure
Degree Options and Objectives
The AA Graphic Design program offers a studio art elective, along with options in printmaking or digital drawing and painting These choices aim to help students address perceived weaknesses while enhancing their overall understanding of the arts, ultimately preparing them for a successful transition into the workforce.
A number of Associates of Art students continue on at WNMU and earn their BFA in Art the way the current Graphic Design instructor has.

Typical Program of Study – (Appendix 1)
The Chinese students enrolled in the 2:1 program with NBCC follow the curriculum identified in (Appendix 7.)
History of Courses Taught as Program Requirements
The Graphic Design Program has maintained a consistent curriculum over the past 11 years, undergoing three revisions while adhering to NASAD standards In 2009, the program expanded with the addition of an ART instructor to teach Photoshop and Illustrator The 2011 curriculum revision aimed to create synergies with the Digital Media Communications Program, enhancing course offerings in these essential software tools While general education courses have remained unchanged, the integration of DMC courses in 2011 marked a significant update, with the majority of courses still taught by ART faculty Additionally, many Graphic Design courses serve as required or elective options for ART majors and BFA students, reflecting the program's interconnectedness within the broader academic framework.
Articulation
In 2009, a 2-1 articulation plan was introduced to Ningbo City College, leading to the commencement of coursework for the first cohort of 28 Chinese students in Fall 2011 These students are expected to arrive on campus in Fall 2013, with a similar number anticipated for the following year Additionally, a proposal is being developed to allow these Chinese students to earn a BA/BS degree from WNMU Notably, a mini cohort of two students is set to complete the program by May 2012.
Planning Processes
To effectively prepare for an anticipated increase in enrollment, it is essential to develop a comprehensive plan that includes hiring a qualified full-time faculty member with expertise in graphic design for both print and web Additionally, securing sufficient computer printing equipment for the Chino Graphic Design Studio is crucial The plan should also involve purchasing workstations and software for the lab or establishing a financial aid program that allows students to acquire their own computers and software Furthermore, it is important to encourage students to pursue further studies in ART or IDEA, while also fostering a student-run Art initiative.
The downtown business incubator will feature gallery space, tours, retail, and graphic design services, creating valuable internship opportunities for graphic design students as enrollment increases in two years To attract prospective students, it is essential to effectively market the graphic design program both on campus and through targeted recruiting materials.
Assessment –
As technology advances and the responsibilities of graphic designers evolve, the Graphic Design Program has undergone significant changes over the past 11 years These modifications have been influenced by feedback from faculty, students, and administration, as well as research into competitive institutions and the need for an international curriculum Collectively, these elements have shaped the curriculum updates to better meet the demands of the industry.
From 2005 to 2011, student evaluations for Graphic Design Courses revealed a high average satisfaction score of 6.45 out of 7 During this period, the courses received a rating of 6.32, instructors scored 6.43, and facilities were rated at 6.17, indicating a consistently positive experience for students in these programs.
In a fall 2011 survey conducted among graphic design students, key findings revealed that students expressed dissatisfaction with course clustering and the DMC courses Additionally, they were unhappy with recent curriculum changes and voiced a desire for a single instructor to teach the majority of classes, who would also be accessible outside of class for support and advising.
The student data indicates that software courses, particularly at the 100 level, should not be taught in a clustered format; instead, these classes should be offered as standalone courses with increased enrollment While the curriculum changes implemented this year address many student concerns, challenges remain, including the difficult transition from the old curriculum, student dissatisfaction with DMC courses, and unresolved scheduling conflicts between Expressive Arts and DMC As enrollment increases and courses are separated from clusters, there will be a need for additional full-time faculty to meet student demands Furthermore, having a full-time instructor overseeing the program would lead to more accurate assessment data and improved program delivery.
Finances (Budget) – EA Productivity - Spring/Fall 2011 Enrollment Income Generated
The Graphic Design Program, funded through the Tier Formula, has generated a total of $49,080 from specific courses, with Spring 2011 contributing $27,598 and Fall 2011 adding $21,482 This figure excludes any revenue from Summer sessions or additional supporting classes taken by Associate of Arts students, such as Art Appreciation, Portfolio & Business, as well as 2D, 3D, and studio electives.

Facilities and Capital Equipment –
Program assessment in Art has driven significant improvements in Graphic Design facilities, leading to the establishment of a dedicated studio Over the past decade, the Expressive Arts Department has recognized a pressing need for a new Art facility due to the discipline's consistent growth An assessment in 2008 revealed that the existing Art facilities were inadequate and outdated, spread across four buildings on campus In response, creating a new Art structure became the University's top priority for the GO Bond, although the bond ultimately did not pass Consequently, the institution decided to fully renovate the Chino Building for art purposes, with the project expected to be completed by July 2012 This renovation will consolidate Graphic Design, Photography, Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, and Fiber Arts studios, along with a multipurpose classroom, student spaces, and faculty offices into a single, modern facility.
The Chino building is currently under renovation It will include dedicated Graphic Design
The new studio offers keycard access for students, allowing them to work on their projects at any time, a significant upgrade from the existing GRC 110, which lacks dedicated studio space and 24/7 availability In addition to the standard computer fees applicable to all students, Graphic Design majors are required to pay an extra lab fee that covers instructional costs and materials for each class they take.
MILLER LIBRARY ASSESSMENT FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN PROGRAM
The Miller Library supports the Graphic Design program by acquiring books, Government
Documents, journals, and various resources related to the topic can be found across different call number ranges, highlighting its significance within the broader art context Notably, relevant titles may also appear in unexpected categories, including political advertising and business campaigns.
The attached spreadsheet (Appendix 9) features a comprehensive list of 41 periodicals and journals, along with 160 book holdings organized by call number These call number ranges encompass a variety of subjects related to graphic design, including commercial art, illustration, drawing, typography, lettering, printmaking, color usage in art, advertising (featuring logos), signs and symbols, and digital imagery, such as photography.
Web design Because of WNMU’s agreement with Chinese institutions of higher education, the spreadsheet includes a representation of book titles that pertain to Chinese art
The collection's strength is rooted in its historical significance to the evolution of Graphic Arts, while its current offerings, particularly in contemporary Graphic Design techniques, are lacking To address this gap, the Miller Library plans to collaborate with the Graphic Arts faculty to enhance the collection with resources focused on computer graphics, digital drawing, and career opportunities in the field.
To address the gaps in its book collection, the Miller Library offers extensive access to art journals via database subscriptions A representative list of these journals can be found in the attached spreadsheet, highlighting those that support Graphic Art studies Notably, Academic Search Complete serves as the key resource for accessing academic-level journal literature across various disciplines.
The Miller Library actively participates in various resource-sharing consortia, including AMIGOS Library Services, Inc., which encompasses libraries across New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana Additionally, it is a member of the New Mexico Consortium of Academic Libraries and the National Network of Libraries in Medicine, enhancing its collaborative efforts in providing access to a wider range of resources.
Other Academic Support Resources and Services
Starting in the fall of 2012, the Graphic Design Program will transition from the GRC Computer Classroom and Lab to the Chino Building Graphic Design Studio, pending the acquisition of essential computer equipment for the new facility.
Graphic Design students assist in town and on campus with their 90 hour internship Two students will provide their services to public information this semester.
If the Art and Business Incubator is created it will provide Graphic Design services to Silver City and the University (Appendix 6)

E External Review process (this may be the same as A) –
Not done as the program is still small.
A Student Demand for the Program –
Each semester, the graphic design courses enroll an average of 14 students, prompting the department to assess their individual goals Currently, tracking student progress is limited to those who file a degree plan for graduation, as primary advisors are not the faculty teaching most courses To increase the number of degree completers, the department believes that hiring a full-time faculty member to deliver the program and motivate students to enroll in multiple courses would be beneficial.
Presently 28 students from China are enrolled in the 2-1 program and will arrive Fall
In 2013, students from NBCC will engage in coursework comparable to that of our second-year graphic design associate degree students This initiative is expected to stabilize enrollment in the graphic design program, addressing the trend of higher enrollment in first-year graphic design courses within our region.
WNMU aims to increase its student population to 5,000, with the graphic design program serving as a key recruitment asset This program is particularly appealing to prospective students, as there is a significant demand for graphic designers in major metropolitan areas, where opportunities are abundant.
B Employment Needs and Job Opportunities for Graphic Designers

The New Mexico Department of Labor show that there is a need for Graphic Designers in the state and that compensation rates are similar to the national average.
Despite low enrollment in the program, the average course enrollment over the past 11 years stands at 13.6, and the generated revenues justify its continuation According to Appendix 4, departmental duties are allocated by studio area, typically reflecting one faculty member's course load Specifically, the Graphic Design Studio includes both Graphic Design courses and an Art Appreciation section Notably, the Graphic Design Studio ranks in the top half of revenue-generating studios within the Expressive Arts Department, producing an impressive $3,301 per credit hour, which exceeds 1.75 times the salary of a full-time faculty member.
Lacks a full time faculty member to deliver the program and manage a consistent outcome with regard to instruction, advising and curriculum development and recruitment
Need to strengthen the identified weakness is in the current Miller Library collection by increasing the number of books that pertain to current techniques in Graphic Design.
Evaluating the integration of Digital Media Communication (DMC) at the administrative level is essential for several reasons Firstly, it is crucial to ensure that shared courses are taught by faculty with strong credentials and professional experience Additionally, there is a need for improved integration of course rotation and delivery times Historically, the Graphic Design program combined software training in Photoshop and Illustrator with design projects, but the new curriculum has separated these components, raising concerns about whether students will acquire sufficient graphic design knowledge in the DMC's advanced Photoshop course, as indicated by the Fall 2011 Student Survey Interestingly, our partner college in Nimbo, China, still teaches multiple software programs in a single class, a model worth reconsidering Lastly, the DMC program should leverage more art courses, such as Portfolio and Business, to enhance the overall educational experience.
Typography, 2D Design, 3D Design, Digital Drawing and Painting for Designers to enhance their creativity
The Graphic Design Program needs to increase its number of completers, as students lack sufficient out-of-class support and mentorship in graphic design Despite the Art discipline generating over 81.7% of the revenue for the Expressive Arts Department, only 40% of the full-time faculty are dedicated to Art, leading to strain within the program.
18 advisors who do not have daily contact with the students enrolled in Graphic Design Classes.
The use of adjunct faculty in the graphic design program presents several significant challenges, including limited recruitment, inadequate student advisement, planning difficulties, and the precarious nature of part-time employment This situation became evident last semester when a long-standing adjunct faculty member experienced a substantial reduction in teaching load, leading to their resignation Consequently, the department was forced to hire a program graduate with an AA and BFA, lacking the necessary MFA terminal degree These ongoing issues highlight the urgent need for the establishment of a full-time graphic design position to ensure the program's stability and effectiveness.
To enhance the viability and growth of the Graphic Design program, it is essential to hire a full-time faculty member promptly For the past decade, the program has been successfully managed by an adjunct instructor with a heavy teaching load of 7 credit hours or more Currently, this instructor's compensation is only 80% of the lowest-paid full-time faculty member By investing just a 20% increase in pay, WNMU could transition this adjunct into a full-time tenure-track position, empowering them to effectively deliver a comprehensive and dynamic Graphic Design curriculum.
D Five Year Goals for the Program –
Employ a fulltime Professor of Graphic Design.
Employ several adjuncts to deliver technical courses.
Triple the completer rate of the AA degree in Graphic Design.

Implement a comprehensive recruiting plan for this program.
Our Art and Business Incubator aims to create professional interaction opportunities between students and the University and Silver City communities In collaboration with the Business Department, we propose establishing a student-run storefront, either on or off campus, offering design services, a student gallery, printing services, merchandising space, and valuable marketing expertise.
Enhance the graduate Art course offerings to support a Masters in Art
Have the next program review completed by a Graphic Design Expert.
The Program needs to be marketed better on and off campus –
Many students are unaware of the existing programs at WNMU, highlighting the need for enhanced collaboration between the Student Advisement Center, DMC, and Admissions To address this issue, WNMU should implement a more robust web and print advertising campaign to effectively promote its offerings.

DRAFT - WNMU Art & Business Incubator – possibly named “Created in Silver City”
Created in Silver City is a student-led collaborative initiative between the Expressive Arts Department and the School of Business, aimed at providing valuable resources and fostering sustainable economic development in the Silver City region.
Initial Reason this plan is being developed:
WNMU is set to welcome 28 Chinese students in Graphic Design who will start 90-hour internships in spring 2014 Instead of placing them individually at various locations, establishing a centralized hub for university departments and community members to discuss and submit design requests for student involvement is more efficient Additionally, creating a student Art Gallery will attract foot traffic and foster a sense of community Collaborating with the School of Business aligns with their mission and offers students a practical environment to apply their skills.
The mission is to: provide real world experiences for WNMU Art and Business students, promote
WNMU, encourage the creation of local arts-based manufacturing that focus on handmade and creativity, and support local Silver City businesses rather than competing with them.
The proposed Silver City incubator will feature a reception area for visitor engagement, a student-run gallery, retail space, and offices for consultations with student experts on design and business services Alongside this physical facility, a comprehensive website will be developed to connect all registered businesses in Silver City, serving as a vital resource for potential visitors All marketing materials will direct users to this central site, enhancing its role as an essential information hub about local merchants and the university, accessible to a global audience.
The facility should be situated either downtown or on campus, fostering an interactive and diverse community This design encourages walkability between destinations, allowing visitors to explore and engage in a unique experience This approach contrasts sharply with the isolated, car-centric environments typical of corporate developments like Wal-Mart or commuter colleges.
Created in Silver City has the potential to expand into multiple cities nationwide, either as physical facilities or web-based kiosks The primary goal would shift towards promoting the town, the university, and online services Establishing a physical location would offer students valuable internship opportunities, allowing them to visit, reside in, and experience a major city temporarily while remaining connected to WNMU.
The Art and Graphic Design class not only emphasizes creativity and skill development but also offers students a valuable opportunity to market their creations and engage with customers, providing them with essential professional experience.
The proposed concept enhances the existing Arts program by providing lower division students pursuing their Associates Degree with valuable real-world experience through collaboration on published projects, thereby improving their design standards and portfolio development Art majors will benefit from opportunities to market their work and apply the art and business skills acquired in their courses Additionally, graduate and non-degree-bound art students contribute to the educational experience by engaging in competitions and sharing their practical skills alongside art majors.
Business students are exposed to real world experience to compliment the classroom experience.
The Silver City Incubator aims to support local artists by providing a platform for individual recognition and collaboration with galleries By offering an affordable physical and virtual retail outlet, the Incubator will promote handmade items crafted in Silver City to markets worldwide, including trade shows The Student Gallery will charge a 50% commission to uphold industry standards, while the retail space may adjust commissions based on profit margins to maximize sales As lucrative products emerge, artists might explore additional marketing avenues, potentially leading to the establishment of manufacturing businesses in town, similar to SYZYGY Furthermore, artists will be encouraged to create WNMU merchandise, opening opportunities for licensing revenues Ultimately, the goal is to empower Silver City artists to compete globally and foster arts-based manufacturing, benefiting both artists and the local community.
The Arts in Silver City and at WNMU.
Unified marketing for Silver City through print, web, digital media and word of mouth.
A retail outlet that does not compete, but complements and supports existing local businesses.
Possible WNMU partners: ART, Business, DMC, IdEA, Admissions, Public Information
Possible WNMU Clients: Visitors – both physical and virtual, Alumni, all department and employees who are interested in improving their visual communications and marketing skills.
Possible Silver City Clients: Visitors – both physical and virtual, small businesses who are interested in improving their visual communications and business skills.
Student Art Gallery – works will be for sale Provide exposure so strong successful students may be picked up by Local Galleries
Retail Space - sells WNMU and Silver City merchandise and locally created goods This is a cost effective option to purchasing products made in China sold at chain stores.
Services – Graphic Design, Proofing, Web Development, Tax Assistance, Marketing,
Distribution, Student Run Small Business Development Center.
Specific Services include: advertisements, menus, business cards, posters, flyers, gift packets, calendars, maps, invitations, web pages, business plans, marketing plans, distribution plans, tax guidance…
Feature Board - highlight successful projects.
Web Map - features all town registered small businesses in Silver City.
Distribution Center for recruiting information about WNMU
Profits from sales will be reinvested into purchasing essential materials and equipment to enhance the initiative, funding scholarships, promoting the incubator, hiring professional consultants, facilitating student trips, documenting student work in published catalogs, providing stipends for student workers, supporting recruitment efforts, and establishing a resident artist program.
Why this project will not compete with local galleries and graphic designers –
The Created in Silver City incubator will provide local businesses with affordable services from college students to enhance their visual communications marketing Increased engagement with these services will lead to better responses, prompting some small businesses to hire professional designers for more sophisticated projects As visual communication improves in Silver City, it will positively impact tourism and attract visitors, creating a cohesive online presence that extends beyond the town Maintaining each business's individuality is crucial for showcasing Silver City's uniqueness The Student Gallery will offer student artwork at lower prices, while local galleries will feature higher-caliber works and may scout talent from student exhibitions The presence of multiple galleries will boost sales by attracting out-of-town collectors, and the incubator will collaborate with galleries and local organizations to promote events that enhance tourism and draw more art collectors to the area.
Eventual partnerships include: Silver City Main Street, Mimbres Region Arts Council, Down Town
The Gallery Association, Fiber Arts Guild, and various local organizations such as the Town of Silver City, CATS, and the Green Chamber of Commerce collaborate with community partners including Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, WNMU, HMS, and Gila Regional Medical Center This network also encompasses local businesses like hotels, motels, restaurants, and real estate brokers, as well as Freeport Mac Moran, fostering a vibrant community and promoting economic growth in the region.
Over arching strengths of this program:
This could support Art and Business becoming signature program at WNMU and used as a recruiting tool for the university.
This Arts and Business Incubator would support bringing manufacturing jobs back to America, promote creativity and may qualify for support from federal programs that support those goals.
Improve Visual Communication for Silver City which will lead to increased tourism and art and merchandise purchases (both physical and virtual) supporting a sustainable business model for the town.
To enhance the relationship between WNMU and the town, it is essential for both parties to collaborate and leverage their strengths while addressing weaknesses A key initial step is to utilize student graphic design and business skills to create a compelling representation of WNMU's identity and offerings.
A relatively low cost project which could improve the quality of life in Silver City by using student labor to clearly market what we have to offer to a wide audience.
Open to collaboration with other university departments not yet identified.
Will the WNMU administration see how valuable this would be to the institution?
Refining this plan to one that can be implemented
Financial support for start up costs to implement this plan and faculty course releases
Get buy-in from local constituents.
How will it be done - Seat of the pants or Procure federal funds through Jeff Bingaman?
1 Start Created in Silver City here on campus in the Chino Building Student Gallery.
2 Expand or move to a location in downtown Silver City on Bullard
3 Open a simplified version in a town where WNMU has a branch campus and promote that town and Silver City.
4 Place interactive Kiosks in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
Establishing a Created in Silver City outlet that includes a Student Gallery, retail space, and digital media marketing for Silver City products in Phoenix or Los Angeles would serve as a powerful marketing strategy This initiative would not only promote Silver City and its unique products but also act as a highly effective recruitment tool for Western New Mexico University (WNMU).
