Western New Mexico University has entered agreements with two universities in Mexico to share research and allow students to study on both sides of the border.
The Silver City school signed last month an agreement with Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon that outlines collaboration and the possibilities of faculty and student exchanges.
In addition, WNMU signed another agreement with the Universidad Autonoma de Chihuaha, a public university based in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico with more than 25,000 students.
Under that deal signed this week, both schools will work on joint research activities and publications and the exchange of scholars to participate in conferences and symposiums.
