CMAS 30TH ANNIVERSARY POSADAS 2023

Celebrating 30 years of Knowledge, Culture & Courage

In 1993, through the efforts of Dr. José Ángel Gutiérrez, the Texas Association of Mexican American College Students (TAMACS), and Representative Roberto Alonzo of Dallas made history by achieving the resolution from The House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas Legislature for the establishment of The Center of Mexican American Studies (CMAS) at University of Texas at Arlington. The resolution by the 73rd Texas Legislature reads, in part, “It is also the intent of the Legislature that the university fosters the development of the center and the objective of providing a focal point for interdisciplinary education research, publication, and public outreach activities relating to Mexican Americans.”

Here we are 30 years later, fulfilling the center’s mission: Latino community outreach, research and development, and offering a Mexican American Studies minor. We could not have made it without you. Your support enhances opportunities for UTA’s students to fulfill their dreams while giving them the tools they need to be successful throughout their careers. We encourage you to continue making a difference in a student’s life and education at UTA with your generosity.
