Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of the MVP Office. I enjoyed working here so much and am so happy I got to meet and know everyone. I learned so much from the office, students, and my coworkers, so I am very blessed. Thank you for everything!

I’m a Retired ARMY “Operation Iraqi Freedom” SSG/E6 with 22 years of service behind me. The military has given me the dedication and self-motivation to start a college career and get to this point in my life. Thank you NMSU MVP for your support through the years.

I would like to thank everyone at the NMSU MVP office for their time and assistance. The staff and volunteers patiently walked me through the entire process. They were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Because of their help, I was able to restart my education goals and get enrolled in college after completing over 20 years of military service.

Thank you all again and God bless.

– Thomas Edmonds, Veteran


I am grateful to NMSU and the Military and Veterans Programs for helping me over the course of 5 years. I have struggled at times to transition into civilian life. The friendly faculty and staff have made it possible for me to grow and change at my own pace. I am graduating this year and moving into another chapter in my life. I am most grateful.
