Lizz Garza

In Observance of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Center for Student Success would like to recognize some of our UA Cossatot Hispanic employees that are making an impact on our students throughout the month of September -October!

Lizz Nayeli Garza has been an employee of the college since 2015 as a work study, part time in 2016 and became full time in 2018 working in Student Services as an Admissions Advisor and Recruiter. Her family originates from Tamaulipas Mexico. Lizz graduated in 2019 with her bachelor’s degree in University Studies and is working towards her Masters in College Counseling and Student Affairs with SAU. Her ultimate goal is to one day become a Licensed Professional Councilor (LPC) and work in a community college setting. Besides her working in student services at UA Cossatot she also donates her time as one of two student ambassador sponsors. Lizz states “to be Hispanic, for me, means to be proud of all my ancestors and acknowledge the sacrifices they made for me to be all that I am today. It means working for a better tomorrow for future generations for the yesterday that my ancestors created.” We are proud to have Lizz Garza in our campus community!
