The Student Engagement, Empowerment and Development (SEED) Center
At UNM Anderson, we believe learning should occur everywhere – not just in the classroom.
The Student Engagement, Empowerment and Development (SEED) Center is a space designed by and for business students. It is a place for students to meet, study and share ideas. The SEED hosts workshops and events at the beginning of the term, and during midterms and finals. Students are encouraged to utilize the Center to meet and connect with their classmates.
Living Learning Community
Explore your passions, get involved and make lasting connections. The Anderson Business Living Learning Community supports the academic, social, and professional development needs of Lobos as they pursue their academic dreams. Students will be part of a close-knit program that focuses on academic success, cultivates a safe and supportive environment, encourages professional identity, fosters social responsibility, and develops leaders.
Personal and Professional Development Curriculum
You are positioned for success. The Anderson School of Business has incorporated two 3-credit courses focused on personal and professional development with activities outside of the classroom such as workshops, career fairs, and networking events. These opportunities provide platforms for students to demonstrate the full range of their abilities to potential employers, community leaders and their peers.

BBA in General Management
Hello, I'm Ahmed, hailing from the vibrant culture of Saudi Arabia. As a student at the Anderson School of Management, I'm deeply immersed in the world of business. My passion for this field is fueled not only by the potential impact I can make in my home country but also by a personal ambition to make my father proud. This drive for professional growth is at the heart of everything I do. When I'm not occupied in my studies, I cherish spending quality time with my friends or catching up with family.

BBA in Accounting
Hello Anderson! I’m Bhumi, originally from India. I’ve been involved with SEED since its inception and have remained actively engaged with the Anderson community. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I was inspired to pursue the language of business—Accounting. This passion has driven me to intern with one of the Big Four firms and several other organizations. Feel free to reach out if you’d like guidance on navigating internships or if you’re curious about my experiences as an international student at UNM. In my free time, I enjoy singing, creating content, experimenting with new recipes, and spending quality time with my family.

Hey there, I'm Sam, a New Mexico native currently pursuing my MBA in Business Administration here at Anderson.

Looking ahead, I aspire to return to UNM to teach business leadership courses and to launch my own healthcare business focused on serving others and providing internships in medical device sales for young enthusiasts.
