Dr. William Mundo and family at graduation from medical school

Dr. William Mundo, center, holds his medical school diploma. He is a Lake County High School, CMC Leadville and University of Colorado School of Medicine graduate. He's here at commencement from medical school in Denver with family and friends. Brisa Mundo, Dr. Mundo's wife, stands to her husband's immediate left and is a fourth year medical student. Since her husband's commencement, she has given birth to the couple's baby girl.

Dr. William Mundo honored at CMC Leadville July 23

In 2011, Mundo was a Lake County High School student considering dropping out of school. Counselors and members of CMC’s Upward Bound program reached out, encouraging Mundo to take a year of classes through Leadville’s high school concurrent enrollment program, and to take EMT-Basic courses at the college.

“CMC gave me the opportunity to turn things around, to think about what I want to do in the future,” said Mundo.

A year later, Mundo was graduating from high school with his EMT-Basic certification.

Today, Dr. Mundo is a 2022 graduate with a medical degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He also earned a Bachelor of Science in public health and a Bachelor of Arts in ethnic studies from the University of Colorado Denver. Shortly after completing his undergraduate studies, he also received a master’s degree from the Colorado School of Public Health.

To celebrate Dr. Mundo’s achievements, the CMC Alumni Association is sponsoring a free reception open to the public at CMC Leadville from 10-11:30 a.m., Saturday, July 23 at the Pinnacle Commons/Library. The event will include a Q&A with Dr. Mundo from 10:30-10:50 a.m. and refreshments will be served.

Copies of Dr. Mundo’s book, “From Margins to Medicine: A First-Generation Student Health Equity Guide on Overcoming Adversity with Diversity” will be available for purchase.

Dr. Mundo’s wife, Brisa Mundo, is a fourth-year medical student and will attend as well.

The campus is located at 901 S. Highway 24, Leadville. For more information, contact Leslie Gamez, CMC Alumni Relations, lgamez@coloradomtn.edu, 719-486-4287.
