Hi, I’m Nate Combs and serve as the Secretary and Social Media Marketing for NMSU’s Black Student Association. I am currently a Senior in Exercise Science. I am expecting to graduate in May of 2024! After graduation, I plan on getting my Master’s in Athletic Training. After receiving my MS, ATC, I want to work with the NBA or the NFL. In my free time, I’m playing either Valorant, Sea Of Thieves, or Cyberpunk, hanging out with friends, watching football and basketball, or working on my car. My favorite TV shows are House MD, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Supernatural. My favorite quote is: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
Hello everybody! My name is Lauren Smith and I am the Treasurer and Fundraising Chair for the Black Student Association. I have lived in Las Cruces my entire life. I am excited to see more of the world after my graduation. I just entered my junior year! I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Public Health. After I complete my undergraduate degree, I hope for a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. My hobbies include listening to music, making monthly playlists, watching true crime, stress baking, and traveling. I will take any chance I get to invite people to our events - and I always say how I remember faces; if I ask you to go and you don’t - I will notice.
Hello, I’m Virginia Phillips, I am a Junior and my degree is Fashion Design with minoring in Business Law. I am the Recruiter for the Black Student Association and one of the things I love about this team is how caring and sweet everyone is. There’s a sense of community within that makes you feel like family as soon as you step into the door. 🙂
