Education

Highlands University

New Mexico Highlands’ Donnelly Library was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant that includes the Muslim Journeys collection of materials.

Highlands was the only university in the state to receive the collection of 25 books, four films, and other   resources that introduce the public to the complex history and culture of Muslims in the United States and globally.

The NEH developed Muslims Journeys in collaboration with the American Library Association.

The program’s head coach since its inception, New Mexico Highlands University’s women’s track and field mentor Bob DeVries was named Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for the just-concluded indoor track season.

True to form, DeVries shared the credit with those around him.
