Founding Members

The students who started it.

MEX·US Society was born from an initiative by Jonathan Pérez Gómez and Yexalen Islas Castillo, who imagined a national community to connect Mexican students in U.S. universities. Thanks to the support and trust of students from different universities who joined from the beginning, that vision began to transform into a community built by and for future generations.

There's a place for you in MEX·US.

MEX·US Society was not created by an institution.

Every great project begins with a conversation. MEX·US Society started with students from different universities who believed that Mexican talent should not remain isolated, but connected. Today we take the first step to build a community that will last far beyond us.
