After seeing the historic underrepresentation of minority students in student government, several student organizations were created to support and promote minority students running for Student Senate. La Familia and RepresentAsian were created to increase the representation of minorities in student leadership positions on Texas A&Mâs campus by giving them a network and platform to increase their chances of success. They hope to ensure A&Mâs Student Senate accurately represents the universityâs growing diversity in order to advocate for university policies that benefit the entire student body. External Affairs Associate for La Familia Alexia Hernandez said the purpose of the La Familia initiative under the Hispanic Presidentsâ Council is to increase the representation of Hispanic and Latinx senators in A&Mâs Student Senate through coordinated campaigning.
