Welcome to the University of New Mexico
Bahá'í  Association
" Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost
love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. He Who is the Daystar of Truth beareth Me
witness! So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth."   - Bahá'u'lláh
We invite you to learn more about our Faith- its perspective of the past, its
understanding of the present and its vision of the future.  Our membership is not
limited to Bahá'ís and everyone is welcome to our firesides, study circles, devotionals,
service projects and socials, or just stop by our booth in the SUB to say Hi!

This holiday tradition at UNM was established in the 1930s when students would drive to the Sandia mountains and gather
greenery which they would use to decorate the Student Union Ballroom. Mortar Board began sponsorship in the 1950s and
added the luminarias decoration. The buildings of the University of New Mexico's main campus are outlined with luminarias
(farolitos) for the traditional Hanging of the Greens. This annual event is organized by Mortar Board Senior Honor Society as a
part of their mission to promote service and community outreach. This festive event includes caroling across the University
campus and concludes with the presentation of a holiday wreath to the President and his wife at University House.
