Other programs include an annual new mexico history teachers institute and national history day. Finally, nmhc engages in stand-alone initiatives that bring current humanities topics to the public. Bringing the humanities to the public enriches the cultural life of the state's citizens who contribute to the consideration of public and social issues and policy. New mexico has diverse cultures that influence our contemporary life.
