22nd I-10 College Coalition Blood Drive Kicks Off September 8th at NMSU Las Cruces, NM – The rivalry is real, but so is the need. For the 22nd time, NMSU and UTEP are coming together for the I-10 College Coalition Blood Drive, uniting students, staff, alumni, and the community in a lifesaving tradition.

In 2004, the universities agreed that while there’s a time to compete, there’s also a time to come together, and nothing brings people together like saving lives. Over the past two decades, Aggies and Miners have teamed up to donate 17,288 pints of blood. This year, the goal is to push past the 18,000 unit milestone, with a combined goal of 600 pints between the campuses.

Aggies, this is your chance to defend the title and show your spirit in a way that truly saves lives. Every donor will receive a limited-edition NMSU Blood Donor t-shirt! Alumni are encouraged to stop by during the week to join the tradition.

WHEN: Monday, September 8 – Friday, September 12, 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM WHERE: Corbett Center Parking Lot – NMSU Bloodmobile

Drawing from the University Art Museum's extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.

The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026.
