UTSA Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation Profiles Christopher Castillo

Meet Christopher Castillo who graduated UTSA Class of 2011, with a Master of Architecture Degree and a Certificate in Historic Preservation. A stint in Montana with the Forest Service learning carpentry skills to restore and maintain historic structures was the impetus behind Christopher’s Historic Preservation Certificate. The field of national treasures has continued to be his focus. Looking back at how the program helped prepare him, Christopher stated, “The preservation program at UTSA does a good job of covering a wide field between policy and technology. I feel very lucky. The preservation program helped me along the way.”
