The Center for Student Success would like to continue to recognize some of our UA Cossatot Hispanic employees that are making an impact on our students throughout the month of October!

Hector Cortez

Hector Cortez is one of three campus police and resides in Nashville, AR. His family originates from Jalisco, Mexico. Hector’s mom is from a town named Tamazula and his dad is from a town called Tototlan. They grew up about 3 ½ hours away from each other, but met in Los Angeles, CA in the mid 70’s. Hector is not only a proud father but also a loving husband. He is a current college student working towards obtaining an Associate’s degree and is a prime example of what it means to be dedicated. Hector is also a key component in helping provide food assistance to students on Nashville campus and was also huge asset in helping provide commodities to the De Queen community area benefiting 300+ families. Hector states, “Being Hispanic means having a heritage that is bold and full of life. From family traditions to food, it is always colorful and full of fun. I plan on earning my Associates Degree here at Cossatot in the next couple of semesters and not long after, earning my Bachelor’s Degree.

We are proud to have Hector Cortez as part of our campus community!
