Outstanding Postsecondary Special Populations Student
After escaping a physically abusive relationship with her ex-husband, Christine began '
course work at Austin Community College (ACC) in the fall of 1987 as a single parent with
little money and no training. Today as a sophomore, Christine is earning her Associate of
Applied Science Degree in Human Services and maintains a 3.8 GPA. She has been an
enthusiastic and committed volunteer in a number of settings. Christine has helped with the
ACC Women's Center, assisting other returning women students. In a television program
for the Center, she was interviewed as an example of a woman student who has achieved
success in her college and professional goals. Also, Christine has been a legal volunteer for
the Austin Battered Women's Center, accompanying women to court who are seeking
protective restraining orders or divorces. Because of her strong commitment, the Battered
Women's Center selected her to attend the Texas Council on Family Violence Conference.
As part of an internship, Christine served as a volunteer at the Pebble Project, a child abuse
prevention center, where she gave classroom presentations on sexual assault to children at
the K-12 level. She has been very active in her daughter's education and was given the ChristineRodriguez
