Be Part of SFCC’s Future!
We value student input! SFCC is excited to be a partner in improving the student, faculty, and staff experience through a modern technology solution. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) initiative transforms how our five colleges (SFCC, Clovis, CNM, Northern New Mexico College, San Juan College) work together through shared services (recruitment and admissions, student services, graduation, human resources, administration, and more). You are invited to learn more about the ERP initiative in presentations from the vendor finalists that are specifically for students. We encourage you to attend all three vendors’ presentations so that you understand what each vendor has to offer. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback at the end of each session.
You must sign up by Friday, April 16. Register to attend at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/7db93466c0544b4db537bc6783b0453b. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to agree to keep the information shared by the vendors confidential. Once you have registered, you will receive an email from the project’s Chief Procurement Officer Gerrie Becker with the link for each session. For questions about the process, please contact Gerrie Becker at gbecker1@cnm.edu. Thank you.

Happy National Farmworker Month (March)! (1927–93), US labor leader, Cesar Estrada Chavez. In 1962, he founded the organization that became the United Farm Workers, and he used nonviolent tactics to gain union contracts with California vineyard owners. Farmers are our friends that help us put fresh foods on our table and clothes on our backs. They work in inclement weather conditions, and according to Farm Bureau, “they rise with the sun to tend to crops and stay up late to review accounts. They fight off invasive insects and battle unpredictable weather. Without our farmers and ranchers, where would we be? At Farm Bureau, we understand the importance of farmers, and we’re proud to salute our nation’s farmers and ranchers for all of the reasons they make our lives better.” Thank you to all our ranchers and farmers!
Always Your Champion,
