I am Salvadorian-American. My major is mechanical engineering and  I'm a junior in the program. My goal for the Hispanic community at WSU is to have discussions about issues that we as a community face such as; immigration, colorism, and racism, etc. I would like to create an environment in WSU for the community to be proud of their roots.
