Outstanding Grad: Monica Ortiz, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences 10 May, 2021
Monica Ortiz
Monica Ortiz, who hails from Texas, arrived at Colorado State University as a transfer student in 2019 because she did not feel passionate about her studies. Ortiz said that she also did not receive “proper” advice about college and figuring out a career path.
She always had an interest in environmental issues and, after conducting some research online, was drawn to CSU for its programs. Ortiz moved to Fort Collins and connected with Erin Reichert, undergraduate and internship coordinator for the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Smoke from local wildfires can affect the health of Colorado residents, shows study
Smoke from local wildfires can affect the health of Colorado residents, in addition to smoke from fires in forests as far away as California and the Pacific Northwest.
Researchers at Colorado State University, curious about the health effects from smoke from large wildfires across the Western United States, analyzed six years of hospitalization data and death records for the cities along the Front Range, which reaches deep into central Colorado from southern Wyoming.
They found that wildfire smoke was associated with increased hospitalizations for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and some cardiovascular health outcomes. They also discovered that wildfire smoke was associated with deaths from asthma and cardiovascular disease, but that there was a difference in the effects of smoke from local fires and that from distant ones.
