Doctoral Hooding Ceremony: Celebrating Rosa Chapa [Photo of Rosa Chapa's Family with COEHD Dean Mario Torress] [Photo of Rosa's daughter, Nadia, being handed the Ph.D. diploma by Dean Torres] At the Doctoral Hooding Ceremony, we celebrated Rosa Chapa, who passed away in March as she was completing a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. Rosa deserves to be recognized for her life as an educator, and the research she was working on in the doctoral program, which addressed school dropout rates among young Latinas. Thank you to all of Rosa’s family for being at the ceremony and thank you Nadia for crossing the stage on your mother’s behalf. We know everything Rosa contributed to the university through her studies was for her family. Now and Forever, Rosa Chapa is a Roadrunner. Grad Spotlights Bobbie Faith Garcia M.Ed.

"I am a Louisiana girl born and raised! I spent most of my childhood inside of classrooms as I come from a long line of 7 teachers. I knew teaching was my passion when I asked Santa one year for an overhead projector and a Whiteboard! I also got the amazing opportunity to take a year off to do the Disney College Program in 2021! So you could say I am a bit of a Disney fanatic! I can’t wait to continue with my M.A at UTSA in the coming years!" Read More<https://utsa.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=136171bc13e56eae0c...
