As a college student living in the Valley, I am fortunate enough to enjoy the best experiences this culture has to offer, and I am able to see the ways in which my community needs my help. UTRGV is also the second largest Hispanic-serving institution in the nation. It offers some of the most valuable university experience in the entire country. It is extremely empowering seeing so many students from different backgrounds work hard in order to achieve their dreams.
