Alum Transforms Military Experience Into High-Tech Career
Sixweeks into a new career, designing and crafting jet engine parts for GE Aerospace, South Texas College alumnus Jose Maldonado said faculty with STC’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology program and its supporters in industry went above and beyond to get him the skills he needed to succeed in the workplace.
Maldonado said it took more than 20 years in the Army, a short stint in local law enforcement, and a degree in manufacturing to land his ideal job – but the additional work experience has been worth the extra time and effort.
STC has enabled him to hit the ground running as he transitioned into his new role as a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinist and operator with GE, among the top in the world for the design, manufacturing and servicing of aircraft engines and components.
“I wasn’t your traditional student,” Maldonado said. “Coming from the Army, I worked all over the United States, in bases in Iraq and served in several combat tours. I was looking for new opportunities in life and STC helped me make that transition. It all boiled down to the fact that my instructors at STC really took the time to guide me as long as I
was willing to put in the work. There aren’t many colleges that do that for their students, so I’m thankful I had the opportunity.”
Enlisting in the Army right after high school, Maldonado said he served more than two decades as a Military Police. After retiring in 2016, Maldonado said he enrolled at STC and entered the Criminal Justice program, earning his associate degree in 2018, but was still eager to enter a career where he could use his hands and create something.
He toured the world and traveled in Europe for the next two years and when he returned to the United States, he said he utilized a hobby in firearms to enroll in a gunsmithing program in Colorado, earning a degree in 2020.
It was in that program where he was first introduced into the world of CNC machining, which would pique his interest when he began looking for a program in Texas that could help him move forward in the trade, he said.
“STC had a program that could add to the foundation I already had with gunsmithing so I learned more here at STC than anywhere else because every semester we would dive more and more into a project as well as blueprint reading while working on the product,” Maldonado said. “While the program I
entered in Colorado still had us doing a lot of manual mill and lathe work with old school machines, the Advanced Manufacturing program here at STC had us designing our projects through a computer with extreme precision. I was amazed, to say the least.”
Maldonado earned his degree in Advanced Manufacturing Technology in May 2024. While in the program he said he made the most of the job fairs and networking opportunities he could find as well as scholarships from manufacturing supporters in industry.
He earned a scholarship from South Texas Manufacturers Association (STMA) in 2023, a regional industry association, which for the last 10 years has supported standout students like Maldonado who are entering the workforce.
“It’s important for young people who are going into their first job or their career in this industry to always have the desire to want to learn more and have that willingness to apply themselves in everything they do. We call them ‘diamonds in the rough’ and Jose (Maldonado) is certainly among those who has that potential,” said Mike Willis, STMA executive director. “It’s very rewarding personally to see young people opt into these programs, earn a degree, get jobs in the industry here or elsewhere and climb the ladder. A lot of the folks that have gone through these programs are now managers and supervisors and highly skilled technicians. So, you know, folks like Jose are going to be quickly moved up the ladder.”
Maldonado said he was most appreciative of the skill to read something on paper and translate it into something functional.
“What I enjoyed most about the program was being given the skill to take a blueprint, reading it properly, and then machining a piece of aluminum or steel into a perfect representation of what I saw in the first place. It takes time and practice, but it’s something we are taught early on here at STC,” Maldonado said. “Everything I learned at STC, from working with CNC and Five-Axis and Three-Axis machines to all the hands-on lessons I was part of – it all easily transferred to my job with GE Aerospace. It was easy to pick up everything quickly to help me transition into my job as fast as possible.”

Kamala Harris’ Latin America policies: a few clues and a lot of uncertainty
As we get close to the November elections, experts are scrambling to figure out what would be Democrat Kamala Harris’ policies toward Latin America if she becomes president. She has said very little about the region, but people who have worked with her gave me some preliminary clues about her positions.
First, she is likely to be more hard line on immigration than President Joe Biden was during his first three years in office, because, among other things, U.S. public opinion has shifted significantly to the right on this issue.
Although the flow of undocumented migrants has plummeted this year, 55% of Americans want immigration levels to be reduced, the highest number since 2001, according to a recent Gallup poll. Much of the anti-immigration sentiment is due to a surge in unauthorized border crossings in 2022 and 2023, and to Republican candidate Donald Trump’s false claims that migrants are driving up U.S. crime rates.
In her recent speeches and in a CNN interview, Harris did not spend time debunking Trump’s lies and exaggerations about immigration, such as his frequent claim that the United States is being “invaded” by migrants who allegedly steal American jobs and murder record numbers of people. Instead, Harris accused the former
president of asking Republican legislators to sabotage a bipartisan Senate bill that would have established the toughest controls on the border to date. Harris told CNN that Trump effectively killed the bill because he wanted to keep his narrative of an immigration “crisis” alive as a campaign issue.
(For the record, official figures show that undocumented migrant border crossings fell by about 40% since last year’s highs, homicide rates have gone down to their lowest levels in about 50 years, and there are labor shortages in industries that employ migrant workers.)
When pressed about what she would do on immigration, Harris told CNN that she would support and sign the failed bipartisan bill to drastically reduce unauthorized border crossings, and vowed to “enforce our laws” against border crossings.
Trump supporters claim Harris is trying to hide the fact that she failed in her alleged role as Biden’s “border czar.” But the Harris campaign counters that the vice-president was never tasked with trying to control the border, but rather with reducing the “root causes of migration” in Central America, namely poverty and violence.
On other issues, Harris has also moved to the center — or wants the world to believe she has — since she became vice president in 2021, after running a failed progressive campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2020 and serving as a Senator and California attorney general.
Ricardo Zúñiga, who was the Biden Administration’s special envoy to Central America’s Northern Triangle countries and worked closely with Harris in 2021 and 2022, told me that she is much more pragmatic and less ideological than many people think.
“I understand her reputation from her time in the Senate, but those are not the best guidelines of how she looks at problems,” Zuñiga told me. “In the times that I worked with her, her questions were always about problem solving.”
Harris’ record
During her years in the Senate from 2017 to 2021, Harris said she would have voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1992, as well as against the Obama Administration’s Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, citing environmental, labor and women’s rights concerns.
In 2020, she was among the few senators who voted against the renegotiated NAFTA deal with Mexico and Canada, which was re-named USMCA, on mostly environmental objections.
On Cuba, the Harris 2020 presidential campaign said in response to a questionnaire from the Tampa Bay Times that she favored ending the U.S. embargo on the island and empowering Cuba’s civil society. But as vice-president, she is not known to have pressed for relaxing U.S. sanctions on Cuba.
On Venezuela, Harris sent a letter to
opposition leaders Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia and Maria Corina Machado on Aug. 16 in which she strongly criticized the Venezuelan regime. Harris said in her letter that “the international community, particularly the countries within our shared hemisphere, must remain vigilant and vocal in condemning” Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro’s abuses.
Roberta Jacobson, a former U.S. ambassador to Mexico and Biden Administration border coordinator who worked closely with Harris in 2021, said in an Americas Quarterly magazine podcast that “It would be a mistake to judge her (Harris) by her Senate record alone.”
Jacobson added, “I think the four years that she has spent as vice president are ones in which she has learned an enormous amount. She has spoken to something like 150 world leaders, and she has gone to something like 21 countries.”
Several former U.S. officials who worked with Harris told me that her experience as vice-president helping put together an international coalition mostly in Europe and Asia to support Ukraine after Russia’s 2022 invasion would probably mark her overall foreign policy if she becomes president.
“She is truly committed to the idea that the United States cannot do it alone, and needs alliances with other countries to get things done,” Rebecca Bill Chavez, who was Harris’ Western Hemisphere adviser and co-director of her foreign policy team during the 2020 campaign for the Democratic nomination, told me.
The fact that Harris’ father was born in Jamaica, and that she vacationed there as a child, may also make her focus on the Caribbean, several former aides told me. Harris made an official visit to the Bahamas last year to announce a $100 million Caribbean aid package, and organized Biden’s meetings with Caribbean leaders at the 2022 Summit of the Americas.
Bill Chavez, who now heads the Inter-American Dialogue think tank in Washington D.C., added that Haiti would be a priority for Harris. “She is tracking the humanitarian crisis in Haiti incredibly closely,” Chavez told me.
But unlike Biden, who traveled to Latin America 16 times during his eight years as vice-president, Harris has had relatively little contact with the region. She spent one day each in Guatemala and Mexico in 2021, meeting with their respective leaders, and traveled to Honduras in 2022.
If she wins, Harris is likely to be more focused on environmental, labor and women’s issues, but few people who know her expect her to depart significantly from current U.S. policies.
Harris’ biggest asset for Latin America would be that she is not Trump: She would not demonize Latin American immigrants, nor promise the biggest mass deportation in U.S. history, nor impose tariffs that would mostly hurt Latin American producers and U.S. consumers.

director
indicted for $1.2
million mail fraud scheme
U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas | Press Release
Afederal grand jury has returned an indictment against a 57-year-old resident of Mission for engaging in a sophisticated scheme to defraud her employer, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.
Elizabeth Batten has turned herself into authorities and is expected to make her initial appearance at 9 a.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Scott Hacker.
According to the indictment returned Sept. 4, Batten was the director of financing at McCreery Aviation in the Rio Grande Valley from 2019 to 2023. While serving in that role, she allegedly diverted company funds to pay for her personal expenses. She used signed blank company checks, intended for legitimate business purposes, to settle her personal credit card accounts, according to the charges. She allegedly concealed her actions by sending the fraudulent payments through the U.S. Postal Service.
In late 2023, a McCreery Aviation employee noticed irregularities in the handling of company checks. A subsequent investigation allegedly uncovered the full extent of the financial damage Batten’s actions caused.
Funding for these grants is generated by the Texas Lottery Commission’s games designated for veteran support. Other sources of funding for the grants come from individual donation options on drivers’ licenses, licenses to carry a handgun, outdoor recreation licenses for hunting and fishing, and vehicle registrations.
Veterans in need of assistance can find the organizations providing help in their area and how to contact them at tvc.texas. gov/fund.
The indictment charges Batten with 10 counts of mail fraud. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 fine.
The FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric D. Flores is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

956 United Shines at State Tournament: A Weekend of Champions and Rising Stars
This past Labor Day weekend, from August 31 to September 2, the 956 United Soccer Club proudly represented the Rio Grande Valley at the prestigious Tiger Labor Day Tournament in San Antonio. As one of the standout clubs in South Texas, our McAllen-based teams took the competition by storm, bringing over 25 boys’ and girls’ teams to face off against top-tier academies and clubs from across the state.
It was an action-packed weekend full of determination, teamwork, and impressive performances. We’re excited to share that several of our teams had incredible success. Among the highlights were our 2017 and 2015 girls’ teams, who showcased their skills and walked away as champions in their respective categories. Their passion and hard work paid off in a big way, setting a high bar for the rest of the season.
One of the tournament’s most exciting journeys was that of our 2012 girls’ team, GU13 Red DPL. These talented young athletes fought fiercely throughout the competition, remaining undefeated during the group stages. Their path to the final was a testament to their skill, determination, and preparation. In the championship match, they faced a strong team from Dallas, and despite their best efforts, they finished as
runners-up after a hard-fought 2-0 battle. Nonetheless, the tournament was an excellent stepping stone for the girls as they gear up for the DPL league, where they’ll be competing at both regional and national levels. We’re incredibly proud of their accomplishments and excited to see what’s next for this dynamic team.
On the boys’ side, our 2010 team de-
livered an outstanding performance. Competing with confidence, they won all three of their group-stage matches, taking on tough competition from San Antonio and Austin. With their comfortable victories, they secured their place as one of the top contenders in the tournament. As they look ahead to their upcoming USCTXRL league matches, which are part of the highly competitive ECNL National League, we know they’re ready to make waves.
At 956 United, our mission is to provide opportunities for our players to develop, grow, and compete at the highest levels. Whether it’s at state tournaments or in regional and national leagues, we are dedicated to helping our athletes reach their full potential. Our club, based in McAllen, has teams for both boys and girls from ages 7 to 19, and we pride ourselves on fostering a positive environment where young athletes can thrive. Competing in events like the Tiger Labor Day Tournament is just one of the many ways we continue to push our players and showcase their talents on a larger stage. This tournament is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season for 956 United, and we couldn’t be prouder of our teams for representing the club and the Rio Grande Valley with heart and determination. Here’s to many more victories and milestones ahead!

College of Dental Surgeons of Nuevo Progreso Hosts Insightful Monthly Conference on Emotional Implantology
On Tuesday, August 27, the College of Dental Surgeons of Nuevo Progreso, under the leadership of President Dr. Eduardo Fernández Corrales, hosted a dynamic and informative monthly conference. The event, which took place at 4:00 p.m., drew a crowd of dental professionals eager to hear from one of the most respected figures in modern dentistry. This month’s theme, “Emotional Implantology,” was presented by Dr. Hugo Fernando Ramos Luna, a distinguished dentist from Monterrey, Nuevo León, with a wealth of expertise in oral implantology.
Dr. Ramos Luna, who is the co-founder
of the Center for Updating and Dental Administration (CAAO), as well as the medical director of the Dental Clinic of Oral Implantology Monterrey, captivated the audience with his in-depth knowledge and passion for the field. Known for his innovative approach and commitment to advancing dental care, Dr. Ramos Luna’s lecture centered on the emotional and psychological impact of dental implants, an area often overlooked in traditional dentistry. He discussed how restoring a patient’s smile through implantology goes beyond aesthetics, improving not only their health but their confidence and overall well-being.
In an inspiring segment of his presentation, Dr. Ramos Luna spoke about his involvement with the Rotary Monterrey Club in a deeply meaningful humanitarian project. This initiative is designed to bring life-changing dental care to underprivileged individuals who otherwise would not have access to these services. “We are currently assisting approximately 40 individuals with oral rehabilitations, including implant placements and dentures,” Dr. Ramos Luna explained. “It’s about more than just teeth— it’s about giving people back their ability to chew properly, to speak confidently, and to smile without hesitation.”
The meeting was filled with engaged members of the College of Dental Surgeons of Nuevo Progreso, all of whom are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation in dental care. The conference offered not only technical insights but a powerful reminder of the broader impact that dental professionals can have on their communities. Dr. Ramos Luna’s dedication to both his craft and his patients shone through, leaving the attendees inspired to integrate these lessons into their own practices.
As the conference wrapped up, attendees mingled and discussed the presentation, many of them reflecting on how implantology could transform the lives of their own patients. It was clear that Dr. Ramos Luna’s passion for merging science, emotion, and compassionate care had left a lasting impression on the group, reinforcing the critical role dentists play in improving both health and quality of life.
