Edinburg, Texas – The Rio Grande Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce announces that the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has become the first student organization to join the chamber.

Skyler Howell, UTRGV student senator and president of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization, said the membership marks a milestone for students and professionals alike.

“It is an honor for the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization at UTRGV to be the first student organization to join the RGV Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,” Howell said. “This partnership is a significant milestone, as it marks the beginning of a powerful partnership between established professionals and tomorrow’s leaders.
