Committees

HACER has three main committees, the Community Outreach, the Culturals and the Socials Committees. Each aims to provide events in their respective category for the enrichment of the HACER members. Feel free to reach out to each committee with ideas or thoughts!

Community Outreach Committee

The Community Outreach Committee is focused on extending HACER’s goals and vision to the greater Houston area while also getting HACER members outside of Rice’s hedges. Events in the past have included supporting local students at the Houston Hispanic Forum’s annual Career and Education Day and volunteering at local community centers. Find this year’s committee below!

Culturals Committee

The Culturals Committee is focused on sharing the diversity and beauty of the Latinx culture with the Rice community. The largest event the committee holds is, ¡Ritmo!, our yearly cultural show where we ask the Rice Hispanic community to share its music, clothing, and food. Cultural events are a great way to learn and come together. Find this year’s committee below and feel free to reach out with any ideas!

Socials Committee

The Socials Committee is focused on using HACER to teach the Rice community about the diversity that exists within the Hispanic community. The committee is responsible for planning social activities throughout the school year. This includes activities at meetings, Latin Pub Night, Hispanic Heritage Month, and other monthly social events. Find this year’s committee below!
