New Mexico Junior College

New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) opened its doors in the fall of 1966 as the first junior college in the state of New Mexico. Nearly six decades later, its mission remains the same; promote success through learning.

To ensure every student, whether they are applying for admission, registering for classes, or looking for support, had access, NMJC partnered with Recite Me to ensure everyone could find the information they need to succeed. 

Our Brief

NMJC serves one of the region’s most diverse student bodies, from recent graduates and dual credit students to adult learners, ESL students, veterans, international students, and working professionals. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, it also supports many students and families whose first language is Spanish.

For a student body this varied, the college website carries a lot of weight. It is where students explore programs of study, complete applications, access financial aid information, and connect with support services. If a visitor can’t easily read, understand, or navigate the site, the barrier doesn’t stay online. It can stand between a student and the education they came looking for.

NMJC is committed to making education accessible to every student, and it wanted its digital experience to reflect that, with tools that give every visitor, regardless of ability, language, or learning preference, an equal opportunity to engage with its website. 

Our Solution

New Mexico Junior College chose the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar to make its website easier to use for students and staff across its diverse campus community.

Visitors can personalize the site to suit their needs. On-page translation lets international students and Spanish-speaking families explore programs and services in their preferred language. Color and font adjustments make content easier to read, and text-to-speech reads pages aloud in the visitor’s chosen language, which supports students with visual impairments.

With the toolbar in place, NMJC brings its commitment to accessible online education, so every student has an equal opportunity to engage from their first visit to the website to their first day on campus.

Recite Me has been a useful tool for students and staff. It allows users of other languages to translate the website to the language of their choice. Since we have several international students, this has been very helpful.
