2002 Mexican American Latino Faculty Association is Founded

Creation of the Mexican American Latino Faculty Association (MALFA). MALFA is an
outgrowth of the Professional Hispanic Network (PHN). It was created in 2002 to create a
Mexican American/Latino faculty presence at Texas A&M University and offer a strong Mexican American/Latino voice on campus and support the goals of Vision 2020. The
group seeks to establish a liaison with the administration by providing insight in matters
regarding Mexican American and Latino issues at all levels of the University.
