The dream of a college campus in Valencia County started in the 1981 academic year with a few makeshift classrooms at a shopping center. It was originally called the Eastern Valencia County Residence Center and was located in the Rio Communities Shopping Center
Faculty referred to the facilities as the “fish bowl campus” because students could walk by the large plate glass windows and watch classroom activities from the parking lot. There were 300 students.
Now, 25 years later, UNM-Valencia Campus is located at a permanent site near Tome. The campus serves thousands of students a year in college transfer and technical programs, adult basic education, job training, as well as a wide range of community and cultural activities for all ages.
