Mary Ontiveros was
Colorado State University’s first vice president for diversity. She is an
alumna of CSU and went on to serve in a variety of leadership positions at the
university. Mary helped the Office of Inclusive Excellence grow into a focused
unit with comprehensive training and advocacy. During her time at CSU, Mary was
highly active in the Latinx community and raised the bar for diversity, equity,
and inclusion at the university. We honor Mary’s legacy on campus
through the Ontiveros Inclusive Fellowship Program. The fellowship provides monetary funding to make participation in an inclusive fellowship possible. This program is designed to remove barriers to gaining academic and professional development for students who might otherwise not be able to access these opportunities. These Inclusive Fellowships are available to all students, regardless of citizenship status
