State Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D-McAllen) presents UTRGV with a gift of $50,000 for scholarships during a news conference last Wednesday at the Performing Arts Complex on the Edinburg campus. The scholarships will support first-generation college students pursuing degrees in all majors at UTRGV. Hinojosa raised the money when he served as “Governor for a Day” during the last legislative session, according to a university news release. LESLEY ROBLES/THE RIDER
