Figueroa, a 4L evening student, was named co-liaison to E-Noticias, a bi-weekly newsletter for the association’s membership nationwide. In this role, she will contribute news geared toward law students.
“My goal as co-liaison is to bring together Hispanic law school students from all over the nation by sharing networking events, communicating job opportunities and scholarship information, and highlighting the success of Hispanic law school students nationwide,” Figueroa said.
Nunez, a 3L evening student, was named national secretary for the association’s law student division. In this role, he’ll get to meet and network with legal professionals across the country, as well as work with the membership on achieving the association’s goals. He’s also anticipating helping to expand IU McKinney’s nationwide prominence.
“I think it’s important for the school’s national profile to have its students taking leadership roles in well-recognized and respected organizations like the HNBA,” Nunez said.
The National Hispanic Bar Association is the largest organization in the nation for Hispanic attorneys. Founded in 1972, the group represents Hispanic attorneys, judges, law professors, legal assistants, law students and legal professionals across the country.
