Dr. Cinthia S. Salinas Commencement Guest Speaker
Mariana Monroy Granados was born in Queretaro, Mexico and raised in Austin, Texas. Majoring in Exercise Science with a specialization in Medical Fitness and Rehabilitation, including a Spanish for Medical Profession Certificate, she was president of the Kinesiology Club, the KHE Lead Mentor for the Texas Education Scholars, a University Leadership Network recipient and historian for the Pre-Physical Therapy Society. Mariana will begin a Physical Therapy doctorate degree at Texas State University Round Rock this summer and plans to pursue a career as a pediatric physical therapist.
Curriculum & Instruction Department Chair Cinthia Salinas holds the Ruben E. Hinojosa Regents Professorship in Education. She is a member of the Social Studies Education program area and an affiliate faculty member of the Bilingual/Bicultural and the Cultural Studies in Education program areas.
Nataly Lim Graduate Student Speaker Department of Special Education doctoral student Wan Han Nataly Lim was born in Singapore where her interest in working with autistic individuals and their families began at a young age. Nataly came to the U.S. to pursue higher education with the goal of bringing her knowledge and expertise back to Asia. After graduation, she will return to Singapore to work with the autistic population in her native country.
Dr. Salinas’ research focuses on critical historical inquiry in elementary bilingual and secondary education, late arrival immigrant ESL classroom settings and the broader understandings of citizenship. Her work also examines social studies teachers’ enactment/countering of curriculum through narratives that include civic identities, agency and membership of others. Dr. Salinas has received multiple awards for her work and research, including the American Education Research Association (AERA) Division G (Social Context of Education) Mentor Award and the Honorary Leon Jaworski Award. We are honored to recognize this outstanding faculty member, leader and educator as our Spring 2022 Commencement Guest Speaker.
