Meet K’hari, an Aggie from Ruidoso, working toward her Bachelor’s in Social Work at New Mexico State University. She’s set to graduate in May 2028. Her Jeep means a lot to her. It was a gift from her parents during her senior year of high school, and it’s been part of her story ever since. For K’hari, her Jeep represents freedom, family, and community.
She’s still getting into the trail life, but her favorite Jeep moments are the simple ones, top off during a sunset cruise or spending the day at the lake. What she loves most is how being a Jeep owner feels like instant family.
Meet Miah, a Las Cruces local and proud part of the New Mexico State University community. He’s been working in the Facilities Department for the past five years, helping keep the campus running behind the scenes.
His Jeep story goes way back. Miah grew up riding in the back seat of a classic CJ5, and that’s where the Jeep life really started for him. These days, he’s not picky about trails, any trail will do. Windows down, no rush, and a good burger is a good day.
Miah is a great example of how Aggie pride and the Jeep community come together here in the Mesilla Valley.
Aggie Jeeps is a space within the Mesilla Valley Jeep Club that highlights New Mexico State University students, staff, and faculty who share a passion for Jeeps, community, and Aggie pride.
