UNM Gallup is home to over 3,000 students. Located near the Navajo, Zuni and Hopi Reservations, this campus has the largest Native American student body of any public university in the world, and awards close to $7,000,000 annually in tribal, federal and state grants as well as private, civic, and corporate grants and scholarships.
UNM Gallup was established in 1968 with offices and classrooms at the local Gallup High School and an initial enrollment of 128 students. Within the very first year satellite centers, affectionately known as "twigs," sprang up in outlying communities such as Zuni, Crownpoint and Thoreau. In the same year, the Gallup Lions Club donated a building and six acres of pinon wooded hills to the College as a community service project. Named Lion's Hall, it was remodeled to include administrative offices and classrooms and was the beginning of the present site. Mr. and Mrs. Clair Gurley donated an adjacent parcel of 70 acres to the college which allowed the University to grow and expand to include Gurley Hall, Calvin Hall, Lion's Hall, a Gymnasium, a child care center, construction and automotive tech facilities, and a computer tech center.
