CEEO Events!


UNM Compliance Week

 The University of New Mexico and many of its organizations host an annual Compliance Week on the second week of November every year. This year, Compliance Week falls between November 7th and November 11th. UNM will host daily events to spread awareness about compliance and ethics on campus. Participants will have multiple opportunities to learn, meet compliance partners, and share their thoughts on how ethical conduct looks to them. Compliance week highlights key compliance areas for the University, promotes campus-wide ethical culture, and reminds us that we are all partners in ensuring a healthy workplace.

This year, UNM’s Compliance Week theme is Advancing Ethics and Compliance (ACE). Activities will include an open house at the Main Campus Research Compliance Office on November 7th, a compliance seminar hosted by the Compliance, Ethics and Equal Opportunity office on November 8th, and many other virtual compliance events.

Join the Research Compliance office for snacks and an opportunity to meet the people that ensure compliance with research laws.

The UNM Compliance Office will also be holding a compliance seminar on November 8th presented by the Society of Corporate Compliance. The seminar will include Title IX, data integrity, conflict of interest and other important University compliance and ethics topics.

The UNM Compliance and Health Systems Compliance office will be hosting a variety of virtual compliance events including a website scavenger hunt, a word puzzle on compliance topics, and highlighting UNM Compliance partners on social media platforms. Winners will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

Finally, the UNM Compliance Office will be awarding its first annual ACE awards to UNM partners that advance ethics, integrity and compliance at UNM. The winners will be presented with a plaque and highlighted in social media and UNM communications.
