Victor Rodriguez to Graduate from the University of Texas at San Antonio

Commencement ceremony marks the end of a successful college career

San Antonio— December 19, 2012Today at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Victor Rodriguez received his undergraduate degree in Communications Public Relations with a Minor in Business.

His understanding of others and desire to go above and beyond always impressed me. Knowing his skill set and ability to think quickly while juggling multiple tasks at once has me assured that he will be a great asset to the company he ends up with,” said Hayley Diamond,  classmate at UTSA.

Enriching College Experience


During his studies at UTSA, Rodriguez excelled in many of his classes especially within his field of study.  He understood the importance of finishing strong and made the difficult decision of leaving his full-time job for his last two semesters. His decision allowed him to become more active in public relations. He was elected Director of Events for the UTSA chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America. Rodriguez interned with Rackspace’s corporate communications team in the summer and followed by a fall internship with Sammis & Ochoa Public Relations.

Victor became a well-oiled pitching machine in pitching the press”, said Andre Lenartowicz, Public Relations Specialist at Rackspace, “It was a great pleasure working with Victor”.

Future Endeavors


Rodriguez intends to move back to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to be closer to his family.  He has not yet determined an exact career path as his opportunities are bountiful in both public relations and his previous field of hospitality marketing. Though he will miss his friends and life he had in San Antonio, he looks forward to a bright future ahead.

Tourism Marketing Final Video Project



This is a video I completed for a group project in Tourism Marketing. I produced this video as a back up to the one we actually presented because the member in charge of the video kept missing agreed upon deadlines and proved to be unreliable. He did pull through but my group never saw the video until everyone else did.




Biography of Belinda Rodriguez

I was assigned to complete a research paper in my Composition II course. It was not a typical research paper because we were not researching a particular subject but rather a person that we knew. I chose my mother as that person. I enjoyed learning about my mom and her background. If it wasn't for this assignment I might have never learned the things that I did and for that I am very thankful.

Critical Book Review- The Psychology of the Simpsons: Doh!

This is a critical book review I completed in Introduction to Psychology. The assignment was to read a book of our choice that related to the subject and provide critical analysis. Overall I enjoyed writing this paper because it mixed pop culture and academics.
