Katlyne Marie SilvaCommunity Health
Vado, N.M.
Katlyne makes a difference in her community.
From participating in community service projects
to helping raise money for local organizations,
the College of Health and Social Services student
loves helping people. She is involved with several
student groups, including Rotaract (a community
service-based organization) and F.R.E.E. (Feminists
Reinventing Equality Everywhere), and works atWAVE (Wellness, Alcohol and Violence Education
program) handing out information on wellness and
safety. There are tons of opportunities on campus
for student involvement, she says. And when
Katlyne is off campus, you can nd her at music
events ranging from punk shows to the symphony
or exploring the great outdoors.
I love theOrgan Mountains,green chile, warm weather
and the
beautiful sunsets.

Jorge SolteroIndustrial Engineering
Mesilla, N.M.
Jorge is a returning Aggie. His rst NMSU degree
was in elementary education, and he taught for
10 years. I could have continued teaching for
another 10 years and been happy, but I was always
intrigued by industrial engineering, he says.
Jorge, a father of two, met with an engineering
faculty member and was reassured that going back
to school was possible. It was the best decisionI could have made. I have met new people, been
to different places and learned new and exciting
things. Although Jorge doesnt have a lot of time
for extracurricular activities, he likes working out at
the gym. He is a member of the Industrial Engineer-
ing Honor Society and the AMP research program.
The are many opportunities
at NMSU.If you are willing towork hard and
have a passionfor what you want to do,
you will be
successful.

Hernst LarocheGovernment
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Hernst says the legendary Southern New Mexico
hospitality and mild climate played a major role in
his decision to attend NMSU. That, coupled with
his passion for basketball, brought him to sunny
Las Cruces from his home in Canada. The Aggie
mens basketball guard says he enjoys the cultural
richness of the area, the weather and the people.
Its a friendly place and diverse. Like all student-athletes, Hernsts schedule is demanding. Getting
schoolwork done can be a challenge, but he reports
that he gets plenty of help with balancing academ-
ics and sports. Ive had a great experience with my
professors. They are accessible and supportive, and
work with me to keep me on track. When hes not
studying or on the basketball court, Hernst likes to
play video games, hang out with friends and as
time allows relax.
Ive had a greatexperience with
my professors.They are accessible and
supportive.
