Both Eastern New Mexico University and New Mexico State University have student chapters. The ENMU PGSS meets once per month.
Meetings consist of guest speakers and business meetings.
Each October the student chapters from ENMU and NMSU conduct a weekend Fall Retreat in Ruidoso. It is one of the highlights of the year. Parents and family members of graduates are invited to attend the banquet along with all other members of the chapter. Annual Meetings are held either in Albuquerque or Las Cruces. These meetings provide wonderful opportunities for students to meet and network with Family and Consumer Sciences professionals.
