 Barry
Cooney, Interim Executive Director of UNM-Gallup addresses a group
of around 80 participants in the May 6 Community Talking Circle.
The discussion focused on how to improve higher education in this
region, and attracted about 80 participants of varying backgrounds,
ethnicities and experience. The initiative was sponsored by Achieving
the Dream, a grant that is helping the college address issues concerning
college student success at UNM-Gallup. In the foreground is the
