90 years
How do we recognize 10 decades of academic excellence on the High Plains? How do we celebrate such a monumental achievement for all to see?
In the clear night sky.
At Eastern New Mexico University, we created an out-of-this-world celebration.
Homecoming 2024 was replete with tradition. The weekend featured our signature bonfire, crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, the whimsical parade for children of all ages winding its way down the streets of Portales, and the Homecoming football game. But it was in the night sky that traditions were on display and where a new one possibly began.
ENMU alumni, guests and community members were treated to the school's first-ever drone show.
Spectators watched as 150 drones created the ENMU letters, the Greyhound head, and the out-of-this-world Homecoming logo.
These and 20 other images morphed, transposed, and integrated to illuminate the night sky in green and silver.
