SAC and KLRN-TV 美国东部时间ablish Rosenda Rios Memorial Endowed Scholarship

圣安东尼奥学院 and KLRN-TV, 当地PBS分支机构, are pleased to announce a partnership that will offer a paid six-week internship to recipients of the Rosenda Rios Memorial Endowed Scholarship.

Rios was a 圣安东尼奥 anchor and reporter who worked at KLRN-TV in the mid-1980s and later worked as an anchor and investigative/consumer reporter for KSAT-TV, 当地ABC电台. The scholarship was created for Radio-Television-Broadcast program students at SAC after her passing in July 2020. 

The inaugural recipient of the Rosenda Rios Memorial Endowed Scholarship - Gabriel Rene 冈萨雷斯 - will start his internship in February and will receive a paid internship for the semester to include training in camera work, 视频编辑, 新闻写作, producing and interviewing for news stories.

冈萨雷斯, a SAC Radio-Television-Broadcast student, says his dream is to sit behind the KSAT anchor desk, 就像里奥斯一样.

“The internship means opportunity and, 在我看来, it says something about this community by picking a local student,冈萨雷斯说. “I know this opportunity doesn’t come around every day. I’m looking forward to soaking it all in.”

One of Rios’ former colleagues at KSAT, Shari St. 克莱尔, now director of news and production at KLRN, wanted to honor Rios’ memory by offering SAC students this opportunity.

罗森达是个坚强的人, 道德的记者, and a fierce advocate for doing the right thing for her viewers. She will always be part of the 圣安东尼奥 journalism family.”

SAC主席博士. Robert Vela said the paid internship will expand the college’s experiential learning opportunities for students.

“We are thankful to KLRN for enhancing the Rosenda Rios scholarship with this internship,” Vela said. “We always seek new ways to offer our students career-relevant opportunities to engage, develop new skills and establish employer connections for their future careers. This internship will provide SAC students with real world skills.”

The Rosenda Rios Memorial Endowed Scholarship is currently offered to 圣安东尼奥学院 Radio-Television-Broadcast program students for both spring and fall semesters.
