About Hispanic Business Students Association at ASU
Founded in 1974 and serving the Tempe, Arizona community ever since, the Hispanic Business Students Association at ASU represents nearly five decades of commitment to student empowerment and community impact. What began as the Chicano Business Students Association has evolved into a progressive organization that celebrates Hispanic identity while preparing the next generation of business leaders.
At its core, HBSA believes in the potential of every student to embrace their unique identity, define their own path, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. This philosophy guides all organizational activities and shapes the supportive environment members experience. The association's mission extends beyond individual achievement to encompass broader goals of promoting diversity, creating inclusive learning spaces, and advancing Hispanic representation in business professions.
The organization operates on the principle that personal, professional, and academic growth flourishes through education, real-world experience, and meaningful leadership opportunities. By bringing together students with different goals but shared values, HBSA creates a community where members support each other's achievements and celebrate collective progress.
Located at Arizona State University in Tempe, HBSA maintains deep roots in the local community while building connections across the broader Hispanic business professional network. The organization takes pride in representing ASU and serving as an ambassador for diversity and inclusion on campus.
With continued support from community partners, corporate sponsors, and university leadership, HBSA remains committed to its founding vision: preparing members to be future leaders who serve their communities with integrity, embrace their heritage, and create positive change. Students interested in connecting with peers, developing leadership capabilities, and making a meaningful impact are welcome to join this vibrant community.
