Background
The Texas A&M Hispanic Network was started in Spring 2003 to address how former students of Texas A&M University of Hispanic background can assist President Gates and the University in achieving the Vision 2020 goals relating to diversity of the student body, faculty, and staff.
On April 22, 2004, at the TAMHN Summit, the Bylaws were unanimously adopted at the Hispanic Summit. For the Texas A&M Hispanic Summit Final Report, click here.
