Julian Angel
Hola! Mi nombre es Julián Ángel! I am from the chile Captial of the World, Hatch New México! I chose UNM because I wanted an experience beyond rural Hatch Valley. At UNM I was able to expand my knowledge of New Mexico and explore my interests in a new environment. UNM gave me the opportunity to grow as an individual and scholar. My best experience at UNM has been getting involved with multiple student organizations and getting to have a home away from home with El Centro de La Raza. I am very honored to work with Raza students. The advice I offer new students would be to get involved, speak up for what is right, and never settle for less.
