What are Roadrunners?

Roadrunners are Honors students here to offer peer-to-peer support for other Honors students and those interested in Honors. We can offer our student insight on classes and extracurriculars, connect you with resources across campus, or just be a listening ear! 

Roadrunners also help manage the Brain Fuel, which is a donations-based free snack bar open to all Honors students, staff, and faculty.

Whether you have questions or concerns, need support, or just want to chat, come visit us! You can usually find us at the front desk in the Honors College. To make an appointment, send us an email at the address below. We also have drop-in hours, which you can find below!

Hello! My name is Madison or Madi (she/her) and I’m happy to be one of your guides to the Honors College. I’m an Albuquerque local working toward a double major, one of which is the Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts (HILA) major. My second major is English, and I’m also minoring in History. If any of these choices sound interesting to you, come talk with me. I was the communications editor for Scribendi2024; an editor for Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review; and a mentor for the Honors PathmakerProgram. I like reading, writing, playing video games, and finding new music. I’m also an avid fanfiction reader, so if you have a new fic you need to talk about, I’m all ears. 

Office hours: 

  • Monday: 9:30am-3pm

Greetings and salutations. I’m Marcela (she/ella), a fourth-year student majoring in Journalism with a minor in Design for Performance (technical theatre) and a distinction in Honors. Currently, I work as the editor in chief for Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review, a beat reporter at the NM Daily Lobo, the communications coordinator for the Honors Pathmaker Program, and a secretary for the Association of Jotería Arts, Activism, and Scholarship (AJAAS). I’m a huge reader and sewist, so I’m always ready to talk about books and design. I’m also a rural student from southern New Mexico, so if the big city is as intimidating to you as it was to me, I’m here!
