Some of the most meaningful commendations Rojkind has received are from his native country named as one of the “300 most influential Mexican Leaders” by the Mexican Leaders magazine (2017 & 2018). In 2010, Rojkind was named as one of the “Country’s Treasured Architects” by the Mexican Civil Registry.
