OUR MISSION
To serve as an advocate and support group on Hispanic concerns and issues at the University and local communities. The Network dynamically works towards increasing the number of Hispanic students attending Texas A&M University, as well as enhancing their experience, education and quality of life on campus.
By matching current students with formers students in relate fields, we are creating lasting relationships that can provide professional and personal growth opportunities!
Did you know that the demographic composition of the incoming freshman class is approaching 25% Hispanic? More than just bragging rights, this moves the needle closer to TAMU being named a Hispanic Serving Institution! Find out what this means for campus, faculty and research.H
By attending the President's Council on Climate & Diversity reading day, the TAMHN has a "voice at the table" when reviewing college-level diversity initiatives.
Recent graduate, Brianna Bonilla ’17, conceptualized and produced a series of commercials as part of a TAMU / Univision outreach effort to attract young recruits from Hispanic communities across the country. Each of the six (6) thirty-second spots speak to the connection between the Hispanic and the Aggie experience. At the end of the day, the Aggie Core Values and the values Hispanics have modeled our families around connect us. No matter the language spoken, Aggies and Hispanics hold the same closely-held values dear! Whoop!

The earliest known Hispanic graduate of Texas A&M was José Angel Ortís, Class of 1891. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering. He entered Texas A&M in 1887, taking courses in mechanical engineering through his junior year. It appears that he did not attend school during the 1890–91 school year but returned in the fall of 1891 to complete his degree.
There are so many success stories and insights that our former students can share with current students. Do you have the desire to connect with current students in a mentorship capacity?
