Our congratulations and best wishes to the recipient of the
"International Education Award"
from the Philosophy Faculty
of St. Philip's College
​
2025 - Maria Rivera
Coordinator for Study Abroad
The Office of International Programs
Alamo Colleges District​

​At commencement each year, the Philosophy Faculty at St. Philip’s College bestows an award on a member of our community for their work supporting international education and service.

This year’s recipient is Maria Rivera, who has made a deep and significant contribution to the international students across all of the colleges of the Alamo Colleges District and in turn the San Antonio community.

Changing Students’ Lives Through Study Abroad Experiences
It is said that it takes a village to make these initiatives a success, so Maria goes out of her way to thank the entire team in the Office of International Programs for their respective contributions to the Study Abroad program. However, she is the primary force - the point of contact - for all of the District's programs. 

Check out all of the Study Abroad programs we have available at www.alamo.edu/studyabroad. We are sure you will find a program that meets your academic and financial needs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office at 210-485-0084 or via email at [email protected]. 

We hope you have a wonderful experience abroad and we look forward to meeting you!
