Students returned to the University of New Mexico Main Campus on Aug. 18, with water bottles in hand, ready to learn and stay hydrated during the warm August afternoons. “Welcome Back Days” were held each day during the first week, offering free food and opportunities for students to engage with various clubs, sports and organizations. Construction from the summer remains visible, including remnants of the year-long upgrades made to the Duck Pond and the demolition of the Humanities building near the center of campus. Students could be seen finding new study spots under the trees, or walking to class with new and old friends.
