It is with great sadness that we share news of the death of PED Steward Barb Armijo on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. She passed away, surrounded by her loved ones, following a stroke earlier this year. Those of us lucky enough to know Barb and work with her, know the students of New Mexico are missing a valiant advocate. We will miss her terribly.
