GALLUP, N.M. ― The University of New Mexico-ºÚË¿ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ is in the process of hiring a new chancellor and is giving students, staff, faculty and community members the opportunity to get involved.

The ºÚË¿ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ-ºÚË¿ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ Chancellor Search Advisory Committee has recommended to advance candidate Dr. Sabrina Ezzell to the on-campus interview process. Ezzell has been serving as the interim chancellor of the branch campus since July 1.

Ezzell holds a doctorate in education from Creighton University, a Master of Science in nursing with a specialization in public health from Northern Arizona University, and a Bachelor of Science in nursing from The University of New Mexico.
