The Big Picture
About 20 Hunt Business students from the University Honors Program visited La Nube STEAM Discovery Center on May 1 for a professional development experience supported by the Houston Endowment Professional and Leadership Development Fund.

The visit provided high-achieving juniors and seniors a behind-the-scenes look at how an innovative community organization operates, leads and serves the Borderplex region.

Why It Matters
At La Nube, students explored how management, marketing, operations, finance and community engagement come together inside a mission-driven organization built around creativity, education and public impact.

What Happened
Students met with La Nube staff for a candid discussion on the museum’s mission, history and role in the community.

The discussion was led by Mick Martinez, a ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ MBA alumnus and La Nube’s Chief Strategy Officer. Martinez walked students through how La Nube manages strategy, financial planning, sustainability, earned revenue, marketing and daily operations as a growing community institution.

Inside the Experience
The discussion framed La Nube as a public-facing STEAM center and a working organization, helping students connect classroom concepts to real decisions made across departments and teams.

Students gained insight into how mission-driven organizations balance community impact with financial discipline, operational clarity and long-term planning.

After the meeting, students toured the museum and explored its interactive STEAM environment, experiencing the creativity and design thinking at the center of La Nube’s work.

What’s Next
Through support from the Houston Endowment Professional and Leadership Development Fund, Hunt Business continues to create pathways for students to connect their academic excellence with professional growth and community impact.
