Hello John!

Jacqueline Guerra is a first-generation Latina graduate from Texas A&M University—College Station. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and a minor in Arabic Studies. This is her story:

Jacqueline is now a first-year graduate student at the Texas A&M Bush School of Government and Public Service. She is working towards obtaining her Masters in Public Service and Administration with an emphasis in Public Management. Jacqueline says she is living proof of the positive impact that LULAC has in supporting first-generation Latino students through programs such as Ford Driving Dreams.

She attributes her academic and personal success to staying involved in her community and learning from her experiences. For example, she recalls listening to public servants and community leaders at the 89th LULAC National Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. This experience allowed her to meet like-minded youth from throughout the United States who wanted to ensure the Latino community is represented across our country.

LULAC’s educational initiatives and student investment programs are a testament to our decades of commitment to empowering the next generation of community leaders. We believe in the transformation of lives through education, and we hope you can help us lead more programs just like this one.

Please, donate now to support LULAC’s programs. Right now, you have twice the power! During the month of Hispanic Heritage Month, you can make double the impact with a generous match from Walmart.

Here for you,

The LULAC National Team
