Mary O'Neil
Mary O’Neil, a retired math teacher, has long believed in giving back. The first in her immediate family to attend college, she earned a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from Cal Poly Pomona in 1971 and 1973. As a student, she worked in the bookstore. After graduation, she taught mathematics at Pomona Catholic, Bishop Amat and Mt. San Antonio College. Mary was active in the Cal Poly Pomona Women’s Club, which supported students through scholarships. Inspired by her own experience, she established an endowed scholarship in 2020 and has funded a mathematics scholarship since 2021.
