William Mundo

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

William Mundo was a high school student considering dropping out of school in 2011. A counselor from CMC’s Upward Bound program reached out, and William ended up taking a year of classes through Leadville’s CEPA program.

William is a 2022 graduate 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 his undergraduate studies, he also received a master’s degree from the Colorado School of Public Health. He recently published a book, From Margins to Medicine: A First-Generation Student Health Equity Guide on Overcoming Adversity with Diversity.
