Happy International Picnic Day! From the 1950 Porphyry, this throwback captures Techies enjoying a BBQ together.

Some things never change: good food, good company, and a well-earned break from class, labs, and problem sets.

Alumni: What was your favorite campus BBQ, picnic, or outdoor hangout memory from your Tech days?

College of Engineering Techies: Do you remember what prepared you for life after NMT?
Maybe it was a design project, a research opportunity, a competition, or a mentor who challenged you to think differently.

Every year, New Mexico Tech students gain hands-on experiences that help transform classroom knowledge into real-world success. From award-winning robotics teams to capstone projects and professional preparation, these opportunities help shape the next generation of engineers and computer scientists.

Student success doesn't happen by chance.

College of Arts and Sciences Techies: Do you remember your defining NMT moment?
For some students, it's conducting research. For others, it's presenting at a conference, performing on stage, or discovering a passion they never expected.

The experiences that leave the biggest impact often happen beyond the classroom. Through research opportunities, experiential learning, and the arts, New Mexico Tech students are building the skills, confidence, and connections that will stay with them long after graduation.

Some lessons happen outside the classroom.

From the 1931 Porphyry: a note about Coach Crain, who brought experience in football, basketball, and baseball to Socorro. In his first year, he had already earned the admiration and goodwill of students, with hopes that he would continue building Tech athletics “better and cleaner.”
