NMSU Carlsbad PTK Student, Sarah Christensen and former NMSU Carlsbad PTK student, Josh Delosantos were chosen to represent NMSU Carlsbad at the New Mexico All-State Academic Team Competition during the State Legislative Session in Santa Fe, NM. At the New Mexico State Capitol the students were recognized in the House of Representatives and State Senate and were able to witness meetings on the senate floor.

Sarah Christensen, who will be graduating from NMSU Carlsbad in May with an Associate of Art said It was an great honor to meet other community college students and PTK Students. I enjoyed seeing the capitol building in Santa Fe, going into the senate rooms and introducing my self pushed me out of my comfort zone. Sarah and Josh received a medal and certificate of recognition for their academic accomplishments and got to witness the proclamation of Community College Day presented by Dr. Barbara Damron, Secretary of High Education at the New Mexico All- State Academic Team Recognition ceremony in the State Capitol.
