Eastern New Mexico University along with their campus in Roswell continues to be involved in relief efforts in Ruidoso after the area’s major wildfires, which have reportedly destroyed or damaged more than 200 homes.
The ENMU system continues to provide material, financial and moral support to the branch campus in Ruidoso according to an ENMU press release.
The ENMU-Ruidoso campus did not sustain any damage from the McBride fire.
The ENMU-Roswell campus delivered three generators to Ruidoso Thursday to help with power needs.
ENMU-Ruidoso welcomed back students and staff for classes and on-campus operations Monday.
“We are grateful for the support of the ENMU System as the Ruidoso community addresses this terrible loss of homes and property,” ENMU-Ruidoso President Ryan Trosper said.
Across the ENMU system faculty continue to work with Ruidoso students including those who are struggling to help family or friends affected by the fires across the state.
“The ENMU System is a family and when one of us faces a challenge, we face it together,” ENMU Chancellor Patrice Caldwell said. “Since we cannot be in Ruidoso, I hope many will choose to support the Lincoln County community with financial and material contributions.”
According to the press release, those who want to help the residents of Ruidoso can visit the Community Foundation of Lincoln County website at http://www.cfolc.org and click on “The Shelter Fund” tab to donate.
