Ten students from Texas Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources were on hand for this year's Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference in San Antonio. The students represented Tech's 'Minorities in STEAM,' an organization promoting the success of minority students pursuing careers and degrees in science, technology, engineering, agriculture and mathematics.
