From our CEO and President, Jeff Todd
Spring is finally here, and with it, a renewed spirit and energy at the Foundation and the work we do in partnership with generous donors, the University community, and board members like you. We’re thankful to each of you for inspiring us through your engagement and generosity in support of UNM.
Please enjoy a video and article about Doug Campbell, an alumnus of the UNM School of Engineering and CEO and co-founder of Solid Power, a Colorado-based all-solid-state electric vehicle battery developer. His $5 million cash pledge creates the Gerald May Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. This marks the first time an academic department has been renamed and is one of the most significant donations ever made to UNM.
We also have the story of Stephen Dent, AIA, a retired professor from the UNM School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) and partner at Dent and Nordhaus Architects, LLC. During his 30-plus-year teaching career, he prepared SA+P graduate students for careers in which they could design buildings for a changing planet with a growing need for energy efficiency. Since retirement, Professor Dent has switched from teaching students to helping fund Presidential Scholarships so students can realize their educational dreams.
Finally, we hosted our yearly New Horizons event, which celebrates individuals and families who have included The University of New Mexico in their estate plans. These gifts profoundly impact students and academic programs, ensuring consistent support and resources for generations to come. I encourage you to view our video below to learn more about New Horizons and the donors making a lasting legacy at UNM.
As always, thank you for your continued support of the UNM Foundation.
With Gratitude,
Jeff Todd

New Horizons Society
For many of us, there is a strong desire to make a difference in our world. The search for significance and a desire to plan for the future leads us to ponder our legacy. Many who have been touched by their UNM experience have chosen to make a gift through their estate that honors the university and people who have impacted their lives.
