In this 2023-2024 year, Texas Rising received remarkable members. These members have contributed significantly to voter engagement and to projects, such as the Texas Constitutional Amendments Forum, Find My Political Match, Protect & Respect: Safe S*x Practices. These projects have helped UTEP students but also El Pasoans across the county. As they finish their academia journey, they are going to embark in amazing goals, such as interning in Washington, D.C., attending graduate school, and attending law school. πŸŽ“πŸ§‘πŸ’™β›οΈ
