Center for Academic Excellence
As this catalog goes to press, the Center for Academic Excellence is under development in the Toles Learning Center. Some but not all programs will be available in Fall 2008. The purpose of the Center is to offer programs, activities, and strategies to support and enable cadets to experience academic success, maximize learning potentials, produce high quality work, succeed in a multi-cultural world, and be prepared for a full range of options and opportunities for their future. Help and resources will be available in developing time management skills, reading and writing enhancement, math strategies, general study skills, ACT/SAT preparation, and preparation for furthering their education. Formal course, group seminars, individualized help, and intern programs will be offered to help cadets reach their academic and life goals. In time, many of these programs and facilities will be offered to a larger audience through out-reach to the Roswell community and beyond. Technology will be used to offer distance education programs which will enhance what NMMI can offer not only our cadets, but also our faculty, staff, and community.

Performance Enhancement Laboratory
The Performance Enhancement Laboratory (PEL) is patterned after the Army’s Center for Excellence in Performance (ACEP) at the United States Military Academy at West Point (USMA). NMMI’s PEL expands on that concept by offering unique and exciting training and learning opportunities for cadets. Using performance psychology training techniques, cadets learn how to use the tools of goal-setting, imagery, self-talk and visualization to enhance the skills of motivation, concentration/focus, self-confidence, stress management and arousal control to help perform optimally. Under the supervision of two professionals with Ph.D.’s in the Performance Psychology field, the PEL combines the best practices of traditional training along with the latest cutting edge science to accelerate the individual’s progress and ability to perform at one’s peak. The PEL is also involved in assessing the leadership development that occurs through the NMMI experience.
Athletic Training Education Center
The Athletic Training Education Center (ATEC) provides top level physical rehabilitation and treatment facilities for cadets suffering from sports related injuries. The ATEC sets the standard for facilities and treatment at this level. The ATEC serves primarily athletes, but is also available as a resource to cadets.
