Rate My Professor Humberto Rodriguez

In his career at TCC, Humberto Rodriguez has championed experiential and global learning opportunities for students. He led a study abroad trip to Cuba in 2018 as part of a Spanish class, enabling participants to practice language skills with native speakers and immerse in the culture. Rodriguez has taken part in several such international trips, even as a former student himself. He has highlighted the profound effects of these experiences, observing students' excitement in real-world application, their emergence from shells, and subsequent pursuit of degrees or independent travel. As World Languages Department Chair and International Festival Committee chair, he has organized cultural celebrations like the Northeast International Festival, though the 2025 event was abandoned due to SB-17 compliance processes encountered after his fall faculty development leave. Rodriguez further supports student achievement as a member of the Phi Tau Chapter advisor team for Phi Theta Kappa at TCC Northeast, which received the Distinguished Advisor Team Award at the 2022 PTK Catalyst Convention.
