The Mexican and Mexican-American Association understands the need for an organization that allows for the integral development of students with Mexican heritage and the manners in which it can serve to promote the integration of students to life at Purdue University and the well-being of the Greater Lafayette Community. Our student organization provides a safe and charitable venue for adherents to any race and ethnicity to participate in the claims of culture. While this is a distinctly Mexican-focused organization, any student is welcome to become a member and learn, debate, and explore the connection of cultural pride, diversity, and inclusion.
