CNM offers certificate and degree programs in over 100 areas.
In these challenging economic times, CNM’s role in the community is more important
than ever. CNM contributes to a strong workforce through state-of-the-art training and
education which paves the road to economic success for generations to come.

For some students, CNM provides the cornerstone of their careers— training for highdemand careers utilizing emerging technologies. For others, a CNM education offers an
avenue out of poverty, an opportunity to break free of the vicious and exhausting cycle of
working more than one low-paying job to support a family.
Helping students access education regardless of economic barriers is the purpose for
which the CNM Foundation was built. The value of CNM’s education and training
opportunities has resulted in record enrollment in 2009. CNM’s increase in student
enrollment for college-credit courses over the past two years was 22%, higher than the
national average.
In fact, for the first time in the College’s history, student enrollment surpassed that of UNM, making
CNM the largest institution of higher education in the state. An article in The Albuquerque
Journal (October 15, 2009), explains that CNM’s growth has outpaced other New Mexico
colleges and universities because “CNM's role of training students for jobs in a short time
is particularly attractive.”
CNM continues to provide the opportunities for education and vocational training that
are essential for the success of our students and our community. Highlights include:
■■In 2009, CNM enrolled 33% of New Mexico’s community college students and a full
43% of the state’s two-year college students.
■■CNM continued to break enrollment records, with 27,934 students enrolled for Fall
2009.
■■Adults with associate’s degrees earn 29% more than those with a high school diploma.
■■Adults with a four-year degree earn a full 83% more than high school graduates.
■■More than 90% of CNM students find jobs in their field of study upon graduation.
■■60% of CNM students are “first generation” college students.
■■CNM’s GED class is the largest graduating class in New Mexico.
With the increase in student enrollment and the apparent need for fundraising support
to assist this growth, the CNM Foundation was successful in providing $373,406 in
scholarships, the largest amount distributed in Foundation history. This giving proved
critical to the success of our students.
The following pages highlight just some of the ways our local community is committed
to helping our students achieve their dream of an education.
L i s a Mc C u ll o c h was recently appointed to the position of Executive Director of the
CNM Foundation after serving for two years as the Foundation’s Director of Development.
Lisa’s vision for the CNM Foundation is to secure more opportunity for student success, to
forge robust community partnerships, and to position CNM as a national and local leader in
education and economic development.
“My role is really to guide the Foundation in determining what support the College needs
to remain vibrant, viable, and serving the needs of the community… We’ve raised more
money than ever before this past year and I aspire to provide even greater support to the
College in the future.”
Dear CNM Foundation Supporters,
First, I want to thank all of you for being such amazing supporters of CNM, the CNM
Foundation and, most importantly, CNM students.Your tremendous generosity, in the
name of education, breathes so much life into the hopes of our students.
Your acts of generosity and goodwill have a multiplying effect in our community.
When one student receives the help they need to stay in school, that can be a defining
turning point for their entire family. Every time one student succeeds, earns a degree or
certificate and improves the quality of their life with a rewarding career, their success and
appreciation of education inspires those around them.
Each success story at CNM adds welcomed strength to the fabric of our community.
Each success story also adds strength to our local economy by increasing the quality
of the workforce for existing and future employers in the region. As a supporter of the
Foundation, you are paving the way for more success stories, a better community and a
more vibrant economy.
You have also helped us strengthen our partnerships with local organizations and
community leaders. CNM believes strongly in the power of partnerships. And in these
difficult economic times, productive partnerships take on even greater importance.
I know our students aren’t the only ones struggling because of the economic downturn.
Few people around the country have been spared from encountering some type of
financial loss. That is why your continued support of the Foundation is so inspiring and
appreciated.
At CNM, we’re also appreciative of the leadership that CNM Foundation Executive
Director Lisa McCulloch has provided since being promoted to the position in July 2009.
Under her leadership, we’re confident that the CNM Foundation will continue to prosper.
On behalf of CNM, I want to express our tremendous appreciation for the CNM
Foundation and all of the admirable donors who enrich our community by choosing to
support the success of CNM students. Thank you for helping us to advance CNM’s Vision
of “Changing Lives, Building Community.”
Sincerely,
Dr. Kathie W. Winograd, CNM President

Changing Lives
Building Community
Many of our students at CNM are financially vulnerable in the best of economic times.
During these extraordinarily difficult economic times, their ability to stay in school and
pursue their educational and career goals becomes even more fragile. Thanks to you, many
of these at-risk students find the temporary support they desperately need through the
CNM Foundation.
Dear CNM Foundation Supporters,
As we enter a new year—and a new decade—it is a natural time to reflect on the challenges faced and
accomplishments achieved over the last year. As a Foundation, and as a college, we have worked tirelessly
to continue to provide opportunities and serve as a beacon of hope for our students and also to support
critical economic development initiatives in our community.

The recession has certainly increased the financial challenges our students face. During times of economic
disruption and dislocation, higher education and vocational training are more important avenues for an
increasing number of our community members. Investing in one’s education and improving skills helps
people to secure their long-term financial stability and self-sufficiency.
CNM, the CNM Foundation, and our local community recognize the fragile situation our students are
facing and have mounted an unprecedented response. I’m happy to report that our efforts are working.
Enrollment at CNM is at an all-time high. And, despite the economic climate, the CNM Foundation
raised a record amount of financial support this past fiscal year as our community pulled together to make
a marked impact on the lives of CNM students. We established new relationships with local businesses
and community leaders while strengthening long-standing partnerships within our community. In this
report, we are proud to highlight these community advocates who help ensure that CNM can continue to
provide the assistance students need to succeed and strengthen the fabric of our community.
In addition, 2009 marked a year for transition for the CNM Foundation with the selection of Lisa
McCulloch as our new Executive Director. With her proven track record of fundraising success as
the Director of Development and a strong commitment to education, Lisa will now lead the CNM
Foundation to new heights. Her outstanding talent, passion, and experience are an asset to the
Foundation, CNM, and most importantly, our students, who are the beneficiaries of our collective efforts.
In a recent Time Magazine article entitled Can Community Colleges Save the U.S. Economy, it was noted
that the Center for American Progress concluded in a February 2009 report, “America’s future economic
success may well depend on how we invest in two-year institutions.” We wholeheartedly agree and
invite you to read about the powerful local partnerships, programs, and success stories highlighted in the
following pages.You are our CNM community—and together, we will continue to help students succeed,
and our community prosper, with innovation, dedication, and purpose.

NewMexicoResources.org
The website NewMexicoResources.org provides users with
comprehensive information on benefits and assistance programs for
those in need, both for CNM students and the general public. The
site was established by CNM four years ago based on a template
donated by Community Resources, Inc. and funded by local
partners, PNM, Wells Fargo, and Don Chalmers Ford.
NewMexicoResources.org provides practical information on a wide
array of federal, state, and local benefit programs. This includes cash
assistance, energy assistance, food programs, healthcare programs,
housing and homeless programs, legal assistance, tax credits,
childcare and preschool information, employment and job training,
resources for non-citizens, senior services, transportation, and youth
programs.
2 0 0 9 c n m f o u n d at i o n
annual report
The website offers information about how to apply for benefits,
eligibility requirements, benefit amounts, and answers to commonly
asked questions. In current economic times, when people need to
learn about social support opportunities more than ever, finding
up-to-date assistance information is crucial.
This year saw a considerable expansion of NewMexicoResources.
org. To keep up with the changing landscape of available benefits,
content areas such as housing and homelessness, childcare and
preschools, unemployment insurance, and transportation services
received significant updates and expansion. Website usage has
expanded as well, with the number of visitors more than doubling
in the last two years. Currently, the two most frequently visited
pages are “Food Stamps: An Overview” and “TANF: What Benefits
Will I Get?” with the most recent data showing an average of 450
views per month for each.
At CNM, access to these types of benefits can mean that a student
will be able to enter or remain in school. It means that a student
who was unable to find affordable childcare can now learn about
available programs. It means that full-time students have help
getting meals on the family table. Short-term public benefits help
students complete their education; completing their education helps
student ensure long-term economic security and self-sufficiency.
NewMexicoResources.org was established and funded by local
business people who care about education and the welfare our
community. This collaborative was founded to ensure that students
have the temporary support they need to realize their dreams, finish
their education, and change their lives. Further, the website serves
as a valuable part of the “toolkit” used by CNM achievement
coaches, providers of services, and others working to link those in
need with available resources.

The Frank D. Gorham, Jr. and Marie K. Gorham Charitable Foundation is a family
foundation with deep roots in New Mexico. In 2009, the Gorham Foundation
committed $300,000 to launch CNM’s dual-credit, distance learning financial literacy
initiative. Through this initiative, CNM will be able to bring personal financial
education in the form of college credit curriculum to high schools across the state.
The initiative helps public schools meet the new legislative mandates requiring all
New Mexico high schools to offer financial literacy electives and requiring that
students to pass at least one advanced placement, dual credit, or distance learning
course in order to graduate.
A 2007 survey by Charles Schwab found that nearly 75% of teens expected to earn
well over $100,000 a year, yet only 34% could balance a checkbook and only 26%
understood how credit card fees work.
Changing Lives
Building Community
In light of this, CNM designed a distance learning initiative that helps students chart
their educational and career goals, as well as financial matters in order to prepare
them to manage household finances and avoid future debt problems. Students learn
about the perils of predatory lending and the technicalities of credit card debt. A
hopeful outcome for this initiative will be to help them make informed choices well
into their futures.
The program is called ‘Making Money Work’, and in its pilot year enrolled 300
students from school districts all across New Mexico. A visionary anchor contribution
from the Gorham Family Foundation and a $100,000 matching grant from New
Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union will increase statewide rollout in 2010. This
rollout will take place over three years, expanding statewide into all 89 school districts
by 2012. CNM is the only community college in New Mexico implementing an
online financial literacy curriculum for which high school students can receive
course credit.
The initiative fulfills the new state mandates, and helps pave the way for high school
students to pursue higher education—with no financial impact to the school districts.
Lauren is a 17-year old high school student
from Albuquerque. She is currently in the
foster care system and will be turning 18
soon. Here is what she had to say about the
course.
“I don’t have people in my life to show me
about finances, taxes and budgeting. This class
will help me in the future because now I
won’t turn 18 and have adult responsibilities
without knowing anything. I’m really proud
because now I know about budgeting and
know how to talk about financial things and
budget for myself. Learning life skills, like the
ones you learn in this class, is very important
and I think anyone can benefit from it. One
of our first assignments was to research
careers and I would like to go to college and
become a social worker to work with at-risk
youth. This class helped me to arrange my
thoughts and answer questions completely
like I will when I go to college and my
facilitators really helped me to understand
the assignments.”

CNM to install a standardized, centrally administered campus-wide Internet
access service (“The Wireless Network”) at CNM campuses in Albuquerque.
This past year marked the completion of the wireless project, and ushered in a
new era of connectivity for the CNM community.
This wireless technology helps to improve student, staff, and faculty access
to administrative and academic resources. Students are now able to access all
network services, including connecting to CNM Passport (passport.cnm.edu)
where students can access their CNM web based email, view campus-wide
announcements, and review their financial records, course schedules, and grades.

This expanded access also enhances the productivity and job satisfaction of
CNM’s faculty and staff. Our employees are able to access the wireless network
to continue working on projects between meetings or classes without returning
to their office. They can send course-related email to a student while in the
classroom or post assignments immediately following their lectures.
New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union’s commitment to CNM didn’t
stop there. In 2009, it continued with a $100,000 match to the Gorham
Foundation’s support of CNM’s dual-credit financial literacy initiative (profiled
on the previous page) through its members’ Community Rewards program
because of the impact this program has on the community and in the long run,
the economy.
NMEFCU’s dedication to the community has not gone unnoticed. This
year, by way of a nomination from CNM, New Mexico Educators Federal
Credit Union won the Association of Fundraising Professional’s “Outstanding
Business/Corporation in Philanthropy Award,” an honor they received during
National Philanthropy Day in November.

Innovating Student Support; Rust Scholarship Demonstrates Student Success
Jack and Donna Rust
The Rust Opportunity Scholarship Fund was established in 2005 through a
generous contribution by Jack and Donna Rust, long-time champions for
educational opportunity in New Mexico. In fact, they were recognized in 2006
as “Outstanding Individuals in Philanthropy” by the Association of Fundraising
Professionals.
The purpose of the Rust Opportunity Scholarship Fund is to provide emergency
assistance to students who are experiencing an unforeseen financial situation
that is beyond their control and threatens to disrupt their education. For those
living on the edge of financial security, surprises like an emergency medical bill, a
delayed paycheck, or a higher-than-expected utility bill can derail even the bestintentioned student.

recipient Gabriel Guevara at the 2009 Donor
Appreciation Dinner.
This scholarship helps students pay for essential services, such as rent, utilities,
food, textbooks, transportation, and childcare. In the 2008-2009 school year, the
majority of applications were for housing expenses, followed by utility bills and
school-related expenses such as textbooks and school supplies. Applications are
reviewed continually and approved funds are available within 48 hours.
Most importantly, the Rust Opportunity Scholarship Fund works.
In the 2008-2009 academic year, the term-to-term retention rate for students
who received assistance from the Fund was 85.3%. This is a remarkable number
compared to 67.7% retention rate for first-time CNM students. The proven
retention of our students due to this scholarship has attracted more than 300
additional individual donors to make contributions to this scholarship in order to
ensure its continuation.
Valerie Otero’s story is a telling example of how the
Rust Opportunity Scholarship Fund helps students meet
immediate needs while also putting them on a path to
academic and financial success:
Valerie Otero
When Valerie’s child support payments lapsed, her world
threatened to crumble. She couldn’t pay her mortgage,
utility bills, or provide for her children—and she certainly
couldn’t afford to stay enrolled in school. The Rust
Opportunity Assistance Fund paid her mortgage for one
month until her child support payments started up again.
Without the help, Valerie would have left school. She explains, “My next step,
if I didn’t receive this money, was to drop out of college and get a full-time job.
I probably wouldn’t have come back to college either, because I would have
not felt secure in going to school and being able to also make my mortgage
payments. This program is an absolute godsend.”
Students who receive emergency assistance from the Rust Opportunity
Scholarship Fund get more than a one-time helping hand. CNM provides
participants with access to other services, information, and assistance to help
students avoid similar financial crises in the future. In Valerie’s case, she learned
about a work-study program. She joined the program and is now able to
supplement her income and prevent similar financial emergencies in the future.
Valerie is well on her way to achieving her dreams of finishing school and
making a better life for herself and her family.
“The Rust Opportunity
Scholarship has been
an inspir ing success at
CNM and it has inspired
other colleges around
the countr y to create
similar scholarships, I
am thr illed that this
scholarship has been
f u n d e d i n p e r p e t u i t y.
This means that many
more students will

otherwise force

Changing Lives
Building Community
The Rust Opportunity Scholarship has proven extremely successful since
its launch in 2005, receiving national recognition by Inside Higher Ed as an
innovative and effective program. In the past four years, more than 1,500 students
have received aid from this scholarship, with awards averaging around $300. This
year, the CNM Foundation was fortunate to receive a most generous gift of
$250,000 from the Rusts to continue this good work.
Distinguished Alumni Award

Tony Trujillo
In August the CNM Alumni Association
presented Tony Trujillo, President of Holman’s
Surveying Precision and Computing Solutions,
with the 2009 Distinguished Alumni Award
which recognizes a CNM alumnus who has
attained distinction personally and professionally
and reflects CNM's vision of changing lives and
building community.
Tony’s aspiration back in the 1960s was
to become a civil engineering technician,
but when he was offered a job to work at
Holman’s Surveying Precision and Computing
Solutions as a retail store sales clerk, he found
that he enjoyed the technical atmosphere and
interaction with customers. Tony soon realized
that he needed to find a way to strengthen
his workplace skills and prepare himself for a
successful career.
In 1965, Tony enrolled at CNM, then
known as TVI, to take classes in Architectural
and Mechanical Drafting and business
administration. Tony was able to enhance his job
skills at CNM through a high-quality education
at a very affordable cost.
Today Tony has more that forty-three years
of business experience and successfully leads
a high-tech, multi-million dollar business,
but he still credits where he got the start for
his education. “CNM has been my bridge to
success.”
Tony remains active in his community. He is
involved in the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber
of Commerce, the Mayor’s Small Business
Advisory Council, APS Perkins Advisory
Committee, and CNM Geographic Information
Technologies Advisory Committee. His humble
beginnings and success within Holman’s Inc. are
fitting for this distinguished award and serve as
an inspiration to our CNM students.
I remember when I started at TVI. Since I
was good in math, I decided to take a class
in accounting but it wasn’t for me. The next
semester I enrolled in a drafting class.
Today, I run a great company, Holman’s, Inc., in
business for 55 years with 55 knowledgeable
employees and located in five states. We sell
and support precision surveying and computing
products from HP, Apple, and Topcon Positioning
Systems. We have the best customers: Sandia
National Labs, LANL, professional surveyors,
engineers, contractors and mappers and more.
CNM has been my bridge to success. I would like
to see more high school students take advantage
of CNM's career and technical programs. The
50% high school drop out rate is unacceptable
and we need more students to connect with
CNM.
Special thanks to the CNM Governing Board
and President Winograd for your support of the
small business community. Small businesses are
the driving economic workforce engine of our
community and we need CNM to build our future
workforce.
I am honored and humbled by this award. Good
things take time!
Thank you!
