President's Message

Welcome to the official website for the Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA) at Fresno State!

HBSA is a membership-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1972, dedicated to preparing

students for success regardless of their field of study or ethnicity. HBSA’s mission is to ensure its membership

acquires essential work skills through community service and social networking events that will provide them with experience in this ever-changing business environment.

As President of HBSA during the 2026/2027 school year, my goals are to dramatically increase enrollment to all-

time levels, lead with energy, and incorporate local leaders to help in our mission of refining student skills needed to become excellent candidates for the workforce upon graduation.

Sincerely,

President: Marcel Leal
