The NMSU Department of Astronomy values a welcoming professional work environment, free from any and all discrimination and harassment, to all who are interested in learning about the Universe. We value a set of diverse perspectives and backgrounds in promoting this environment in all our undergraduate classes, graduate classes, and all professional work settings. As a member organization of the American Astronomical Society, our department strictly adheres to their Code of Ethics and we hold all our faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students to these high standards.
