We’re happy to highlight Raul Garza, who graduated from UTRGV with an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in 2024 and is now teaching at UTRGV.
As a high school and dual-enrollment teacher, Raul was committed to modeling lifelong learning for his students. Inspired by his time in the classroom and his work with students, he decided to pursue a graduate degree in curriculum and instruction.
For Raul, earning a degree in education felt like a natural next step. His goal was to move into higher education, and his Ed.D. helped him continue growing in the field.
Today, Raul is putting his education and experience into practice as a faculty member at UTRGV.
