About Us

The New Mexico OER Consortium was formed to address the rising costs of higher education by promoting the use and development of free, openly licensed educational resources.

• 🎯 Mission & Vision: We aim to connect New Mexico’s educators to reduce textbook costs and make high-quality education more affordable for all students.
• 📚 History & Founding Members: Initiated by visionary institutions—University of New Mexico (UNM), Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), and Central New Mexico Community College (CNMCC)—the Consortium was founded to promote collaboration across campuses.
• 🏛 Governance Structure: We operate with a representative Board of Directors and elected officers, guided by our bylaws to ensure inclusive and transparent decision-making.
• 📄 Bylaws: Our governance policies are available for download, with key highlights available directly on the site for easy reference.
