Sheryl Borden

Degree: Home Economics
Year: 1975

From her student days working at KENW to her full-time job today at ENMU’s Broadcast Center, Sheryl Borden has seen how technology at Eastern has placed the University on the cutting edge of broadcast production.

Majoring in home economics at ENMU, Sheryl never imagined she would someday produce and host her own nationally syndicated television show. Nor did she expect to become director of marketing for one of only three public broadcast stations in New Mexico. Sheryl credits Eastern with making this dream job a reality.

Connecting students to the high tech 21st century jobs is a major commitment at ENMU. And, according to Sheryl, the combination of “high tech” and the personal touch were important components of her ENMU experience.

Technology played an important role, too. “It’s amazing what technology ENMU uses to enhance education — from the classrooms, to labs, to the Broadcast Center,” Sheryl added. “With the resources and opportunities available at ENMU, students are well prepared for high-tech jobs — not just in broadcasting but in many different disciplines.”

Next time you catch Sheryl Borden’s nationally syndicated Creative Living program, or watch "SportsLook," "Cultura," the student-produced "Scene3 News" (now "News 3 New Mexico"), or see Eastern graduates working on major network news programs, remember her words: “Eastern opened a door and allowed me to pursue a career I never dreamed I could achieve.”
