Roe Bubar, a professor of Ethnic Studies who is jointly appointed in the School of Social Work and affiliate faculty in the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, will serve as the interim Vice President for Diversity for Colorado State University. President Joyce McConnell announced the appointment as the University’s founding Vice President for Diversity, Mary Ontiveros, retires at the end of December.
“Colorado State University is such an incredibly collaborative intellectual community, and nowhere is that commitment to collaboration more evident or important than around our equity efforts,” McConnell said. “That’s why I’m excited that Roe has agreed to step into this important interim leadership role. She is an extraordinary scholar and a practitioner, someone who leads by listening and by mentoring, and she brings tremendous wisdom, expertise, and empathy to every aspect of her work.”
