Latino Logradores (Latino Achievers) is a freshman program with three main components which helps support the success of Latino/a/x students at Texas A&M University by providing mentorship, a family atmosphere, transition from high school to college and resources that help them thrive in a college environment. This will be a freshman’s first connection to the Familia Latina where they can build long-lasting relationships, explore their culture, build networks, feel empowered, develop holistically and be a service to the local community.
Components of Latino Logradores
La Casita
La Casita is essentially your home away from home. These meetings are a place where members come together to build community, socialize, network and find a sense of belonging. Like topics that are covered at home with your family, we will celebrate successes, support hardships, share experiences, share culture, connect you to resources and have some food together.
La Familia
La Familias is the name for the mentorship structure within Latino Logradores. Mentorship is an important component of the program where members get the opportunity to be mentored by sophomore, junior or senior Aggie Latino/a/x students at Texas A&M University. This will be a year-long mentorship where mentor-mentees will meet several times a semester as a group and also have an opportunity for one-on-one mentorship.
La Conexión
The first year of college can be a rough transition, we are trying to make it easier. La Conexión will be the cornerstone of information needed to help achieve success as a freshman and to thrive here at Texas A&M University. La Conexión will be a sharing of essential resources, like opportunities in leadership, academic deadlines, career services, community connection, organization involvement, and activities.
One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination. - John C. Maxwell
