For Oswaldo Ortiz Jr. and his father, Oswaldo Ortiz Sr., the pursuit of higher education has always been a shared value. But neither could have imagined they would one day take that journey together. When Ortiz Jr. decided to advance his career by enrolling in The University of Texas at Arlington’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, he was unaware that his father, inspired by his son’s ambition, would soon join him. They will walk the stage together at fall commencement this week.
