As a state institution Texas A&M University strives to foster an
environment that ensures that all students receive a superior education that
focuses on the tools necessary to compete in a globalized work environment. One
of those initiatives that the University is embarking on is the creation of a
Latino Mexican American Studies (LMAS) minor on campus. But, the idea did not
come from the university, or the Board of Regents. Rather, the idea and
implementation of the minor was a grassroots movement by a group of Texas
A&M University students.
The students would like to explain the need for the minor at Texas A&M, the process of getting the minor approved and implementing the minor, as well as the adversities that had to be overcome in order to achieve their goal. Additionally, the students would like to highlight why it is important that universities across the United States, Texas especially, have programs such as LMAS.
Presenters: Isaac Chavez, Nery Guerrero, Angelica Ruvalcaba, Alma Patino, Joe Rodriguez, Alfredo Garcia, Jasmine Hemenez, Erica Medina, Ana Cardona, Adam Brennan, Benny Miranda, Jonathan
