PRESIDENT’S NOTE Oct. 27, 2025
Momentum and Meaning in Our Community The energy across the Luna Campus and our extended communities—
Springer, Santa Rosa, and Mora—has never been higher. Moving through the heart of the fall semester, I am consistently inspired by the dedication of our Board, Faculty, and Staff, the success of our students, and the strong community bonds we are rebuilding. In the past month, we’ve seen remarkable forward momentum fueled by individual commitment. Celebrating Our Champions I want to extend a special thanks to Sherry Goodyear for publishing the weekly “What’s Happening” to keep the campus informed. I am especially pleased to note the successful expansion of Sherry’s Rough Rider Mentorship program across all our campuses, providing crucial student support and connections. We are also fortunate to have the CDL teaching expertise of Johnny Martinez, Contract Education Manager, who works week after week to get our students CDL certified. October was also Recruitment Month. I must recognize the excellent results reported by Savannah Vigil-Lujan for the NMCAC College Days; her detailed report in this edition of the Luna Light We clearly demonstrated our commitment to the region this month. My sincere appreciation goes out to our dedicated teams from Recruitment and Admissions, Student Services, and our satellite campuses, alongside faculty and staff from the Culinary Arts, Nursing, and CTE programs. These groups, joined by members of the LCC Foundation Board, represented Luna brilliantly at local fall festivals in Mora and Springer, and walked in the Homecoming parades for Robertson, NMHU, and West Las Vegas. I also want to recognize Raymond Baca, our Information Representative, whose consistent presence is a testament to the Luna spirit, often welcoming new employees—like those who recently walked with him—to our community culture. Our Roughrider baseball and softball teams completed over 240 hours of community service this fall including participating with the City of Las Vegas alley cleanup in the month of October. Thanks to Chris Chaves, Director of Logistics and Facilities for coordinating this effort. clearly shows the impact of focused outreach. Engagement and Outreach
