The Daniel H. López President's Golf Tournament


A Message from President Michael Jackson

As I begin my tenure as the 19th President of New Mexico Tech, one of my highest priorities is strengthening the student experience and ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive. At New Mexico Tech, we do this together, through the dedication of our faculty and staff, the commitment of our alumni and friends, and the generous support of partners-like you-who believe in the promise of our students.

Each year since 1995, the Daniel H. López President’s Golf Tournament brings our community together in support of the President’s Tuition Assistance Fund. This fund provides critical scholarship assistance to students nearing the completion of their NMT degrees. By alleviating financial barriers at a critical point in their academic journey, the President's Tuition Assistance Fund allows talented students to focus on rigorous coursework, groundbreaking research, and hands-on experiences that prepare them to become the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and industry leaders.

New Mexico Tech students graduate with one of the best educations in the state, and because of the support of people and organizations like yours, many are able to do so with little to no debt. Over the past 31 years, the President’s Tuition Assistance Fund has helped hundreds of students stay on track, complete their degrees, and pursue their goals without an overwhelming financial burden.

I am excited to invite you to join us for my first Daniel H. López President’s Golf Tournament as New Mexico Tech’s President on September 17 and 18, 2026. Your sponsorship will directly support students in need and help continue the tradition that has made a lasting difference in the lives of so many Techies.

Thank you for your consideration and for your commitment to New Mexico Tech students. If you have any questions about sponsorship opportunities or the tournament, please contact Sandi Lucero or Dezirae Armijo at 575.835.5618 or pgt@npe.nmt.edu.

With gratitude,
Michael Jackson
