Meet the Mentors

Cynthia Covarrubias is a peer mentor at the Center for Student Success. Covarrubias is a senior studying Agronomy and is from Laredo, Texas.  Here is more about her.

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies include shopping, sleeping and spending time with family and friends.

What do you look forward to as a student mentor?

As a student mentor, I look forward to the many opportunities to teach the freshmen some methods of surviving college, as well as having the communication that is needed with the students so they can feel comfortable and confident within the college environment.

What are your goals?

One of my goals is to graduate by Fall 2020 with my Bachelor’s in Agronomy. In addition, I would like to work as an U.S. Custom Agriculture Specialist after graduation. 

If you could pick an actor to play you in a movie who would it be? Why?

I would pick Dulce Maria because when she played Roberta Pardo in Rebelde, she had a strong character.

What is the best part of being a TAMUK student?

The best part of being a TAMUK student is that you get to have a close bond with the professors. The classes are small; therefore, you can have more one-on-one time with the professors.
