We envision ARID will act as a new hub that will facilitate connections, partnerships and opportunities not only across campus, but across state and federal entities and other stakeholders to improve resilience in New Mexico.
This diagram indicates the current connections fostered by ARID across 9 different existing centers on UNM campus (they are the circles here in gray), 2 non-profits (shown here in green, current federal initiatives (light blue), state initiatives (gold), and tribal and community partners (orange and purple).
