Congrats to one of our new history alumni, Sebastian Rodriguez!

Sebastian is wrapping up his on-campus job with the College Now office, then will be teaching high school full-time for the 2024-2025 school year at Uncommon Schools, a charter school. While at the school, he will be pursuing teaching certification and obtaining a master’s degree. 

His long-term goal is to pursue further education to achieve a doctorate, becoming the first in his extended family to do so, and to enter higher academia as a college professor.

Sebastian writes, “I cannot stress enough how helpful and supportive the history department have been in helping me better understand the path I wish to take. Just as I owe my friends, peers, and family for where I am today, I also owe the history faculty for providing me with a wonderful experience.”

Congratulations, Sebastian!
