move up the search process. Dr. Huerta noted no, but that we could
possibly advertise early. Mr. Burke suggested starting early with
draft position announcements. Dr. Huerta added that several
positions that were not filled will be advertised this month. We want
to eliminate late offers. She asked division deans to start developing
announcements. Dr. Huerta suggested getting with Ms. Gleason on
the common information on the announcements. Mr. Burke noted
the requests should follow what was submitted in your operating
plans. Dr. Chieffo asked for clarification on who should attend;
department chairs, program directors. Mr. Burke noted it was up to

each unit. This will not be a decision making meeting. We would like
to identify issues sooner.. Dr. Huerta asked that the division dean be
the speakers, but that department chairs and program directors can
come. Ms. Brooks asked if this would impact schedules. Mr. Burke
noted that they are related. Dr. Chieffo asked the division deans to
let us know the impact to the schedule.

non exempt form has been changed or improved. Ms. Gleason noted
no. This had been tied to broadbanding and broadbanding is on
hold. Mr. Paulman asked if broadbanding had been set. Mr. Burke
noted the set time has changed several times. A new date has not
been set. Human Resources is working on a contract with the union.
Dr. Huerta noted that as we get information on the evaluations from
main campus, we will send out. Dr. Huerta also noted a concern
from main campus on using all lOs. Please think about what you give
your employees. We could possibly provide training or discussions
on evaluations if needed. Ms. Gleason noted that if you give all lOs,
maybe we need to check the duties. Mr. Paulman noted it was
culture and if reset the morale will be affected. Mr. Burke noted this
was a preliminary discussion for you to rethink evaluations and is
something that needs to be fixed over time. Please discuss with
employees when evaluating. Change is coming and nobody is perfect.
Dr. Huerta asked everyone to start thinking about this and Ms.
Gleason will send information as she gets it. Dr. Chieffo asked if
training can be done for supervisors. Dr. Huerta noted that it can be
worked on. We do not want to be caught off guard.
4 - The Migration Dr. Huerta asked Mr. Quintela to give the group an update on the Dr. Huerta would like
Strategy to migration to Blackboard CE6 and perhaps, for faculty, more Mr. Quintela to work
Blackboard CE6 - extensive training. Mr. Quintela noted the new system is very with Dr. Chieffo on
Mr. Quintela different and will require retraining. Because DACC will not be able scheduling training.
to handle all the training, some faculty will need to go to NMSU for
training. Mr. Chappell asked if they had thought of training for
part-time faculty. Mr. Quintela noted it was being worked on. The
new system will be going live summer session II. The old system will
be shut down. The course migration has not all been worked out.
We will need to make sure and migrate back ups. Mr. Quintela
suggested looking at this as an opportunity for DACC to clean up
courses. Dr. Huerta added that this was a lot of work and we need
to do a better job of doing tagging and identifying these courses. Mr.

Quintela noted that we would like to hire part-time people to help
with migrating. Mr. Chappell asked if this would make things more
consistent. Mr. Quintela noted yes we can with the new system. Dr.
Huerta asked Ms. Rodriguez if any of their courses were webCT.
Ms. Rodriguez noted no, but they would like to. Most students do not
have access to computers. They would like to apply for grant to
purchase laptops and be able to have students check them out. Dr.
Huerta asked Mr. Quintela to get with Dr. Chieffo on scheduling
training, etc. Mr. Quintela noted that we needed to come up with a
strategy. This is a new staff challenge. Ms. Allen added there would
be a new version in fall 2008. Dr. Huerta asked how many courses
this impacted. Mr. Quintela noted 100 courses which are fully on line
and 300 augmented through webCT enhanced. Ms. Aguilera-
Goerner noted she has already began talks with Mr. Quintela on
starting with the General Studies Division. Dr. Huerta noted we also
needed to train students. Mr. Quintela added we need to inform
students of the change. Tutorials will be available for faculty and
students. He will visit departments soon. Mr. Chappell asked what
the status of my.urnsu e-mail was. Ms. Allen noted it was there but
there are still questions. Mr. Burke added it was in place to function
but needed academic input. It will be coordinated with Dr. Chieffo's
office.
Dr. Huerta asked for any announcements:
Mr. Chappell noted he has had a good overall response by full time Informational
and part time faculty on entering grades.
Dr. Lillibridge noted there was a significant planning meeting on Please give important
January 26. Please send important ideas to him. Dr. Huerta added ideas to Dr.
that of the five institutional priorities, she needed information on Lillibridge for the

Nickerson asked if training would be done before
evaluations. Ms. Gleason answered yes, this is the plan.
Mr. Paulman asked when the evaluations were due. Ms.
Gleason noted possibly mid April. Dr. Huerta added the
community college would follow procedures where there is
no conference with the employee until the evaluation is
reviewed by reviewer. We will get out information as soon
as possible. Dr. Huerta asked Mr. Altamirano to find us a
larger room for the training. Dr. Carrica asked for an
explanation of how raises are related to the evaluation. Ms.
Gleason noted it had not been shared. Mr. Burke added we

meeting.
3-Freshman Dr. Huerta noted she and Mr. Ledesma have been talking Informational Item
Year Experience about a shift in focus in student services. One focus is for
- Dr. Huerta & students to declare a major when they are admitted. Mr.
Mr. Ledesma Ledesma will work on starting a "Freshman Year
Experience" where we may want to consider how to
coordinate, who to target. Elements we want to incorporate
include:
-- Curriculum: developmental, college success, and distance Informational Item
learning
-- Advising: comprehensive orientation, professional
advising, peer advising (get more successful students
involved)
-- Mentoring: faculty, staff, peers
-- Academic Support: tutoring, technical support (labs,
library), training for faculty (how to provide academic
support)
-- Counseling: career, academic, personal
-- Seminars: alcohol and drug abuse, cultural, educational
psychology (emotional development, base line theory),
ethics, life skills
-- Case Management: oversight of all activities, personal
contact (another connection), feedback (from students
about services), referrals (help student with process)
-- Research: peer institutions, academic research, training
(keep student motivated)
-- Evaluation: activities, grades, persistence, graduation
Dr. Huerta added the college needed to look at the students Informational Item
we are losing, especially first time, full time students. Mr.
Ledesma along with Mr. Mazdra and the department chairs
and program directors will be involved. Dr. Huerta noted
students who declare a major are more likely to complete
studies. Ms. Chairez added that many students end up not
making academic progress and not meeting the lottery
scholarship requirement. Of the 240 students evaluated,
only 11 were eligible for the Academic Competitive Grant
which is a federal grant. Mr. Pifia noted the initiative
would cost money. Mr. Ledesma noted a committee would
be formed to look at what we can and can't do. A lot of
people will need to be involved. Dr. Huerta noted this go
around, the college would not be submitting a Title V grant.
Next year, based on strategic plans, we could possibly apply
and be funded by Title V. Mr. Owensby noted historically,
SBDC has been detached, but they would love to get
involved. SBDC would be happy to be guest speakers in
classes. Mr. Chappell added that it could be more
formalized if it goes to Faculty Council. Ms. Nickerson
noted she and Ms. Rodriguez have met with Mr. Ledesma
and feel ABE fits perfectly with this idea. Mr. Ledesma
noted he would include everyone. Dr. Huerta added
reporting impacts us and student success is very important
Dr. Huerta noted she met with Dr. Lillibridge on the Informational Item
recommended strategic priorities. Dr. Lillibridge noted the
08-12 strategic priorities were: 1) graduate more students
(credit and ABE); 2) culture of evidence (for budgets,
standardize); 3) communication (internal and external,
focus on web, communication with part time faculty); 4)
partnerships (all kinds, k-12, four year, industry, business);
5) facilities (related to growth); and 6) technology (are we
able to keep up).
Dr. Chieffo concurred with waiting a year, piloting through
AtD, and then the writing of the Title V proposal should
begin December 2007 with submission March 2008. This
will give us time to research, visit places. Ms. Nickerson
asked who she could meet with regarding ideas to transition
ABE students to college. Mr. Ledesma noted it would be
him and to please submit ideas. Dr. Huerta noted she
would form task forces for each strategic priority and have
them submit reports. Dr. Lillibridge noted the strategic
plan was due in December.
4 - Facilities Mr. Burke noted progress had been made on the Workforce Informational Item
Update-Mr. Center. The bids were opened this week. It's a $4 million
Burke budget, $3 million construction bid, and it has three
alternatives (new, ole, renovation). We were able to get all
within budget. Ray Ward & Sons were awarded the bid.
They have worked with Rem Alley (architect) before and
there is a good connection. The contract will be established
in the next few weeks. Pre-construction meetings are
scheduled of the end of next month. Ms. Reddington is the
point person. We do not anticipate any problems. Ms.
Reddington added we need to work on getting everything
out of the back area.
Mr. Burke noted he was working with Gary Williams on Informational Item
the East Mesa Center design. The bids will be sent out with
alternatives. There is the potential that we may not get all
we want in the $10.5 million project. The bids will go out
this summer.
On this location, room 80 and 82 will be worked on for the Informational Item
Dental Hygiene Program. Work will start at the end of the
semester. Room 78 will become an operating clinic. The
biggest need for the Dental Hygiene Program is classroom
space. There will be a temporary disruption. The clinic
will be done at the end of the year and be ready for Sprin2
2008.
Dr. Huerta added there will be plans to meet with folks in Budget requests
Hatch and possibly Chaparral. Mr. Burke noted we were are due TODAY to
looking at BLM land next to the high school in Chaparral. Mr. Burke through
We would utilize the high school for dual credit. Hatch is appropriate officer.
little different. We will either work with private citizens or
the school district depending on where we decide. We may
end up undersized. We are working on getting architects
for Hatch, Chaparral, and Phase II of Gadsden. Mr.
Owensby asked that SBDC be given times when classes are
not meeting here at the Las Cruces campus. The
Workforce Center construction is expected to last nine
months and he would like alternative class space to hold
classes, training, etc. Mr. Burke noted operations would not
be shut down. This will be addressed at the pre-
construction meeting. The work will be done in three
pieces. Dr. Glenn noted the problem in his area would be
front office space and staff being displaced. Dr. Huerta
asked everyone to bear with us and that there would be
sacrifices and inconveniencies. Dr. Huerta reminded
everyone budget requests are due today to Mr. Burke
throu2h appropriate officer.
5 - New Mexico Dr. Chieffo noted work has been going on at the New Informational Item
Higher Mexico Higher Education Department. There is a
Education HEDIPED Alignment Task Force to look at college entrance
Department exams and high school exit exams. The cut off scores in
Task Forces - math, English, and reading will need to be the same. DACC
Dr. Chieffo representatives on behalf of NMACC on this Task Force
include: Dr. Bernie Pifia, Mr. Gregg Hammond, Mr. Brad
Mazdra, and Dr. Fred Lillibridge or Ms. Mary Beth
Worley. Please visit HED's web site for the list of other (7
or 8) task forces. The Articulation Task Force is looking at
the general education common core courses. Dr. Huerta
noted we also were involved in dual credit. Dr. Chieffo
added there was a subcommittee of alignment changes to
dual credit.
6- Dr. Huerta noted the Las Cruces Sun News had called Informational Item
Announcements yesterday regarding the Nursing Program. Dr. Huerta
/ Other referred them to Mr. Pearse and Dr. Whitaker. Good
things have happened like the monitoring reports have been
lifted. We have also been working with NMSU's College of
Nursing. One of the students interviewed the last time who
gave an unfavorable review, was interviewed again and this
time had good things to say about the program.
Dr. Huerta reminded everyone to work on the five faculty Informational Item
positions, the ACAO, the Division Dean for Continuing
Education, and the TRC Coordinator positions. Those
should be posted ASAP. Everyone will be involved with
screening committees or strategic plan task forces.
Mr. Ledesma noted a few events: Informational Item

The college will be organized up front for next year. Irene
added those items on the list Connie provided may have

listed on the inventory.
3 - Merit Pay - Mr. Burke noted documentation from the Provost had come Mr. Burke asked
Mr. Burke forward on merit pay. For faculty, main campus is looking the division deans,
at giving 2% across the board automatically and using the dept. chairs,
3% for colleges to fluctuate for merit with the overall program directors
average for the college staying at 5%. This was approved to get
by the Regents today. It will be similar for exempt and non documentation on

are able to develop their own process to distribute merit.
DACC has chosen to deviate %% amounts based on
evaluations and recommendations. Mr. Burke added the
process will require us to submit to the percent. Raises will
not be as low as 2 % except in very unsatisfactory
performance. Dr. Pifia asked if promotion and tenure was
considered. Mr. Burke noted promotion and tenure was
given outside of this process and is roughly 6 %. Mr. Burke
also noted the college was asking for a faculty equity
adjustment and we have asked for a flat, across the board
amount for all faculty. Mr. Altamirano asked about the 2%
or 3% to ERB. Mr. Burke noted the employer has given
.75% more the last two years. The Legislature is providing
funding for this and does not impact raises. Mr. Burke
asked that the division deans and dept. chair/program
directors get documentation on evaluations ready and to
make recommendations. Mr. Burke asked Mr. Welch to
take back to the division deans.
4 - Budget Mr. Burke referred to the handout of the 2007-2008 budget. Informational Item
Update-Mr. This is basic budget information which will go forward to
Burke our Advisory Board for approval. This is required before
going to the Regents for their approval. Mr. Burke noted
the college was taking less of an enrollment increase. The
college will increase tuition and fees from $47 to $48 for in
district. Tuition for concurrent enrollment will remain the
same -- $24. Out of district was also increased by $1.00 --
$57 to $58. New faculty and staff positions approved are
listed on the last page. The exempt positions funded by
restricted funds will not be supported by I&G this year.
We are hoping to fund those with a HUD grant. Mr. Burke
sent the budget to the Budget Committee for input. There
was isolated feedback. This is what the college will be
sending forward. The Exec Team focused more on funding
streams for faculty positions. This year we will start
dialogue on those we did not fund or why decisions were
made. Ms. Nickerson asked if these were full time positions.
Mr. Burke answered yes. Mr. Chappell asked about pay
raises for part time faculty. Mr. Burke noted a request
which has not been made yet will ask for a 5 % raise for
part time faculty. Mr. Burke noted he was still finalizing
the budget and he will soon have the expenditures and
revenues done. The budget worksheets will be sent out
soon, hopefully by finals week.

Mr. Paulman asked Mr. Burke's perspective on the 2% Informational Item
drop in enrollment. Mr. Burke noted these were only
projections and were very conservative. Mr. Burke expects
enrollment to be down. The college is reaching critical
mass, especially in General Studies. We made appropriate
decision of the number of students accepted in the Nursing
Program. Historically, our growth is equal to the county's
growth. Mr. Burke noted for funding purposes this is
considered zero.

Agenda Item Discussion ActionJDisposition
Meeting Start 9:03 a.m.
Time
Dr. Huerta wished a good Friday to everyone. She thanked Informational Item
the group for adjusting schedules to come in earlier. We
have a full agenda. Dr. Huerta reminded everyone we were
still working on strategic priorities. Action plans are due
end of June. In July, they will be bought back to this group.
The Executive Team will finalize and submit to NMSU
Board of Regents. Dr. Huerta noted there was still room
for input and sub-groups may be a possibility. They were
presented to our Advisory Board last night. Also, the
budget was approved by our Board. We did get a new
board member, Dr. Connie Phillips. Dr. Phillips has a
Ph.D. with a math background. Dr. Huerta noted a lot will
need to be done in preparation of our accreditation site visit
next year.

incident where it was contained by the Las Cruces Police
Department. In June or July, there will be a meeting of all
of our folks with NMSU. In addition, we would like faculty
to put a statement on safety in their syllabus. This will be
the start of a safety campaign. We will also get student
government involved. Dr. Carrica asked to be included in
this meeting. Ms. Mount asked about safety in the student
handbook. Mr. Ledesma noted only policies were included
in the handbook, but would like to add something on safety.
Dr. Huerta noted there would be more to come. Please see

Communications would send out information and our CEO
Office would get out to DACC.
4 - Strategic Dr. Huerta asked the chairs of the Strategic Priorities Task
Priorities Task Forces to give a brief overview of their activities.
Force Updates -
Dr. Huerta Mr. Ike Ledesma, Chair - SP#1 - Improve Graduation Informational Item
Rates
Committee: Rosa Lopez, David Twitty, Nina Javaher, John
Pallares, Lucy Gurrola, Brad Mazdra, Stacy Cotton, Mary
Beth Worley
Mr. Ledesma noted the committee had met three times.
They were focusing on increasing technology; holding one
week orientation for students to include time management,
financial aid; and strategies to help the freshman year
experience. The committee is getting information from
other colleges who have successful freshman year
experience programs. Other things being looked at include
advising, mentorship, and college success. They would like
to engage students at the beginning. Also, they will look at
strategies to use WorkKeys and the Associate of General
Studies degree. The committee meets every Thursday at
noon. The graduation rate for 2006 was 9.7% per Dr.
Lillibridge. We want to make it better. The definition of a
graduate is first time full-time degree (or certificate)
seeking who graduates within three years. Not all programs
require same time. The committee will develop strategies to
improve graduation rates. Ms. Nickerson asked if GED
transition will be part of this plan. Mr. Ledesma noted yes,
it would be and that Ms. Cotton has started making good
contributions. Mr. Pearse noted there were over 1000 pre-
health students which include 600 pre-nursing students.
Dr. Huerta noted we should look at offering different levels
of certificates. Currently, the requirement range from 20
hours to 39 hours. For a point of comparison, Dr. Huerta
added that the graduation rate for EI Paso Community
College was 4% and Central New Mexico Community
College was 7%. Dr. Lillibridge noted this was the first
time in five years ours had gone up. Dr. Huerta noted we
also needed to look at the CNA certificate. In 04-05 there
were 30, in 05-06 there was 1, and in 06-07 there were 5.
Ms. Mount added we needed to encourage student to get
their certificate and ~o on to ~et an associate. Mr. Ledesma
Administrative Council Meeting

noted we need an institutional policy to promote from the Informational Item
Informational Item very beginning when students decide to
come to DACC. Ms. Aguilera-Goerner noted she agreed
with the ladder approach. Dr. Huerta noted we don't want
to just fluff the numbers. We need to look at what the
workforce requires and design by that.
Mr. Jon Juarez, Chair - SP#2 - Nurture a Culture of Informational Item
Evidence
Committee: Terry Mount, David Twitty, Greg Hammond,
Kim Seifert
Mr. Juarez noted this was about what information is really
being used. Using the nurturing concept (quality center) to
use information to change method of doing things. Colleges
should do things differently every year. We need to identity
constituents who need information like the general public
and students. Also, identify internal constituents including
those who make strategic decisions and managers. We need
to find out what information is needed by our internal and
external constituents. Mr. Juarez noted that SP#3 will be
instrumental in SP#2. The committee will look at what are
the processes, what is being developed (information), what
is useful and meaningful, and what is the process to
evaluate its usefulness. Mr. Juarez noted they will look at
changing how we deliver information. They will have a
three step action plan, which will be ongoing.
Dr. Fred Lillibridge, Chair - SP#3 - Enhance Internal and Informational Item
External Communication
Committee: Omar Carrillo, Molly Morris, Becky Orduiiez,
John Paulman
Dr. Lillibridge commended Ms. Allen for the suggestions as
they will impact her area. They committee has spent time
finding indicators to measure. This is everybody's plan.
Please look over. Suggestions and comments are welcomed.
The committee will have a public meeting.
Activity 1- Website
Activity 2 - Intranet - public site for students, less internal
Activity 3 - Part-Time Faculty - huge part of our enterprise
and Faculty Council has made good inroads
Activity 4 - Unified E-Mail System - we have two e-mail
systems
Activity 5 - Communication across Curriculum - how we
teach our students to communicate
Activity 6 - Improve Communication NMSU & DACC -
improve that communication
Dr. Huerta has requested Dr. Chieffo to work with Dr.
Cynda Clary who is the NMSU HLC Chair on this very
critical activity.
Activity 7 - Plan in Place to 2et Information out

Immediately
Activity 8 - Unified Phone System
Mr. Paulman asked about sensitive communication. Dr.
Lillibridge noted we need to control what we put out there.
Mr. Burke noted on Activity 7, we are part of the NMSU
system and there is a plan. We can always improve, but
there is a plan. A small discussion followed on NMSU and
disseminating information to DACC. Mr. Burke suggested
maybe DACC have a member on the CART team. Mr.
Ledesma asked about the marketing, recruitment initiative.
Dr. Lillibridge noted they were waiting for input.
Ms. Carmen Aguilera-Goerner, Co-Chair - SP#4 - Increase Informationalltem
and Strengthen Educational, Community, and Industry
Partnerships
Committee: Jerry Welch (Co-Chair), Rosa Lopez, Sylvia
Nickerson, Ken Tellez, Lydia Bagwell, David Pearse, Molly
Morris
Ms. Aguilera-Goerner noted the committee had their first
work session this week. The biggest thing would be the
community on our advisory committees. Also, continue to
have community forums like the recent business forum and
government forum. The committee will also look at
economic and workforce partnerships, local independent
school districts and dual credit, outreach to highs schools.
The committee came up with four goals:
1. Develop shared goods and processes to improve
communication with educational, community,
business, industry, and governmental partners, both
internally and externally. This goal has seven
activities.
2. Develop partnerships that promote economic and
workforce development within our community. This
goal has three activities.
3. Proactively seek representation on local, regional,
and state organizations that enhance DACC
partnerships. This goal has three activities.
4. Promote other related partnerships that support
academic excellence, student referrals and support
services, professional growth, diversity, scholarship
opportunities, and civic engagement.
If you have any ideas, please send an e-mail. Ms. Nickerson
suggested an assessment be conducted to identify gaps. Mr.
Mazdra added the service learning movement is a
wonderful way to create partnerships.

Mr. Burke noted the committee would meet for the first
time this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. He reviewed the 2003
master facilities plan. Work is now being done on the
master facilities plan which will be for the next four years.
The survey done was looked at. The goal and action plan
with the most responses from 2003 was looked at. What
stuck out includes:
1. There is still the perception that we don't plan new
space for new programs. As a college, disseminate
information.
2. Eighty percent think facilities development is
important or very important
The college needs to validate:
1. rate of taxation -- $1 mill
2. update master facilities plan maybe to 2016,
document refreshed
3. renovation (not specific yet) for HLC document-
what we have accomplished
Mr. Burke noted this was an on-going strategic process.
The college has nice facilities with some climate control
problems.
Ms. Lori Allen, Chair - SP#6 - Provide State-of-the-Art Informational Item
Technology
Committee: David Pearse, Oscar Quintela, Susan Wood,
Chip Moore, Tim Chappell
Ms. Allen noted technology was rated very important. The
committee came up with three major areas to address the
need for state-of-the-art technology:
1. Information Technology - infrastructure,
management & support, distance learning
2. Equipment - infrastructure, management & support
3. Acquisition - external funding, internal funding
Mr. Pearse noted the dental lab was a good example of
resources that needed to be a top priority.
Dr. Huerta noted Dr. Lillibridge is taking the lead and
appreciates everyone's hard work. There is time and space
for input.

2 - DACC Web Page- Mr. Carrillo noted he was hired as our web developer Informational Item
Ms. Allen & Mr. two months ago. He will make sure our web page
Carrillo complies with standards, is user centered, and helps our
students. With the help of Mr. Paulman and Dr. Sharp,
Mr. Carrillo has worked on our web page. He has had a
few people look at it and most like it. He is looking for a
student to test it on. Mr. Carrillo presented the web
page to the group. It's simple, can be seen by any
browser, and the graphics are minimum. Mr. Carrillo
browsed through some pages including a message from
our CEO. He noted the college needed to agree on the
main format which will not change. The new web page
will allow users to provide their own content. There will
be a form you can down load, fill out, and send to
computer support to be placed on-line. Mr. Carrillo
noted a few rules will need to be enforced in order to stay
in compliance. Users can use Front Page or even better
Dream Weaver to add or edit. Computer Support, by
request, will be available to help develop pages if
material is too complex, the person does not know html,
or in special cases. Mr. Carrillo noted, in the future, we
might me able to have faculty lectures and publications
on-line. At the moment, the college is limited on space.
Ms. Allen is working hard on getting us more space. Mr.
Chappell asked if faculty would be allowed to modify,
possibly be given a password. Mr. Carrillo noted a
content management system would be working on
allowing people to have access. We need to know how to
control and ensure safety. Mr. Chappell asked about
part-time faculty who we have a lot of. Mr. Carrillo
noted this was something they needed to work on. Dr.
Huerta noted those were decisions that needed to be
made. Mr. Carrillo also noted they were working on
intranet which is a web site that works inside and is
private within an organization. This is not a priority
right now. Students and accreditation come first. Dr. Please have dept.

she would like the group to close on the "the look." Mr.
Carrillo noted they would provide full instructions and
will schedule training. Mr. Paulman asked Mr. Carrillo
to explain the three clicks. Mr. Carrillo noted you can
get anywhere in three clicks. A discussion followed on
my.nmsu site and other links. Mr. Carrillo noted he was
here to help and is available. Mr. Paulman noted Mr.
Carrillo has done much work and there was a lot of
complexity behind the scenes. Dr. Huerta noted her
