Division of Campus Life

Ashlyn Lovato (she/her) serves as the Division of Campus Life Fellow for the 2023-24 academic year, after graduating from Brown as a four-year concurrent bachelor's/master’s degree recipient. She received her Bachelor's in Linguistic Anthropology and her Master's in American Studies. Ashlyn is a first-generation college graduate from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, and is passionate about Indigenous language, culture, ecologies and pedagogies pertaining to preservation. 

As the Campus Life Fellow, Ashlyn serves as a bridge between Campus Life senior leadership and students. She provides student-centered perspectives and leadership while serving as a critical source of direct support and consultation to senior leadership and helps the team maintain strong connection and interactive relevance to student culture and needs. Additionally, she manages specific projects and oversees the Campus Life Student Advisory Board which is a space for student-administrator engagement and dialogue over policies, programming and decision making related to campus community and student engagement. 

During her time as a student, Ashlyn served as co-programmer of the Brown Center for Students of Color Native American Heritage Series for three years, a powwow committee co-chair for two years and a Bonner Fellow and a Royce Fellow with the Swearer Center. Through these roles, Ashlyn was able to communicate and collaborate effectively with campus-wide departments and divisions and internal clubs, as well as external organizations, and tribal nations and communities, to create space and conversation for Indigenous visibility and cultural appreciation.

Ashlyn is eager to meet and support students and staff. She hosts office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. at 22 Benevolent St. (Stonewall House/LGBTQ Center), or by appointment.
