University of Texas at San Antonio issued the following announcement on March 20.
Alumna makes an impact as a DACA advocate and bilingual educator
Since she graduated from UTSA with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies and a master’s in educational leadership, Maria Rocha-Carrillo ’12, M.E. ’18 has been working diligently to assist underserved students in San Antonio.
Her work on behalf of the students of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and in bilingual education attracted the attention of the U.S. congressman for San Antonio’s 20th district, Rep. Joaquin Castro, who invited Rocha-Carrillo to attend the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C., in February as his guest on the floor.
UTSA Today spent time with Rocha-Carrillo to learn more about her journey and accomplishments on behalf of others and as an alumna of UTSA, one of the nation’s top Hispanic Serving Institutions.
