Mars Rivas

Senior Admissions Officer

Mars (they/he) brings 10+ years of admissions experience in higher education to the Fung Institute.

As a first-generation student, Mars quickly understood that university systems could be difficult to navigate when they aren’t familiar. His passion for serving historically marginalized and underrepresented communities continues to be the driving force behind the work he does. Mars’ goal is to ensure all students have a fair and equitable chance at success and are being provided the information and support they need throughout the duration of their time in school.

Mars holds a BS in Exercise Science from Texas State University. Born and raised in Austin, TX, Mars loves football, BBQ & Breakfast Tacos! In their spare time, Mars enjoys hiking with their rescue pup, playing flag football for SFGFFL, attending concerts, watching WNBA games and college football, and discovering new ice cream spots around the Bay Area!
