The 8th Annual J. Paul Taylor Social Justice Symposium

Quality of Life as Social Justice

New Mexico State University

March 25 - March 26, 2012

The J. Paul Taylor Social Justice Symposium is devoted each year to an issue of concern to the state and region. The overarching goal of the symposium is to further increase the relevance of New Mexico’s land grant institution by providing opportunities for NMSU and larger community members to share information, learn from one another, and develop shared strategies.

In 2012 and 2013, the Symposium is focusing on improving quality of life for all who live in Dona Ana County. The 2012 symposium will take place on March 25 & March 26. Click here for a tenative agenda, and please check back for registration information.

The 2012 event will bring together residents from throughout the county to examine the opportunities people have here, and determine collectively what we need to do to ensure a high quality of life for all. That could mean focusing on health, education, jobs, family, infrastructure or any combination of these and other issues. Participants will have the opportunity to further shape the focus of the work that will follow the event.

The 2012 symposium is a kickoff to a year of work and events to support and improve the quality of life of all who live here. The success of this initiative will depend on the people who get involved. Dona Ana County residents must come together to truly improve our quality of life.
