The MAE Senior Banquet is a growing tradition in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Since Spring 2023, we have hosted the banquet at the end of each semester at the Stan Fulton Center at NMSU. Attendance is limited to 95 guests, creating an intimate setting where graduates are recognized alongside students, faculty, staff, supporters, and a guest.
Each event includes a shared meal and brief remarks from department leadership, scholarship supporters, and invited guests. While details vary each semester, the purpose remains the same: to celebrate the dedication, resilience, and achievements of our graduating students as they prepare for their next chapter.
With donor support, we can continue to offer this meaningful experience and ensure that each graduate is acknowledged and appreciated. Contributions also allow us to enhance the event and increase the lasting impact it has on students and their families.p>
