In May, the NMSU Board of Regents hosted two listening sessions on the NMSU campus in Las Cruces. At a special meeting July 14, the Board of Regents announced that the university's next top leader will be a president, not a chancellor. This change restores a previous title and structure the university has used throughout most of its history.

During the meeting, the board also announced the membership of the search committee tasked with helping find NMSU's next president. That committee includes chair Ben Woods, Georgina Badoni, Citlalli Benitez, Susanne Berger, Neal Bitsie, Wanda Bowman, Maria de Boyrie, Christopher Brown, Abel Covarrubias, Leslie Edgar, Gaylene Fasenko, Patricio Gonzales, John Heckendorn, Christian Hendrickson, Scott Hutchinson, Lionell Manlutac, Sabrina Martin, Donald Martinez, Enrico Pontelli, Marisa Sage, Steve Stochaj, Kimberly Stone, Mónica Torres, John Wenzel and Cynthia Wise.

The university will also work with the public opinion company Research and Polling to ensure feedback is gathered from as many people as possible.
