Bush to the Advisory Commission on Education Excellence for Hispanic Americans. * In 1994, former President Bill Clinton appointed her to the National Science Board and she served two six-year terms as a board member and three two-year terms as the board's vice chairwoman. * In 1997, she was given the Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education. Two years later, Natalicio was inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame. In 2006, she was given the University of Texas at Austin's Distinguished Alumnus Award. * In 2011, she was recognized by Mexican President Felipe Calderón with the Orden Mexicana del Aguila Azteca, or the Order of the Aztec Eagle, that country's highest honor given to foreign nationals. * Received honorary doctoral degrees from Georgetown University, Smith College and the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon.

University of Texas at El Paso President Diana Natalicio Elected Board Chair of ACE From http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/University-Texas-El-Paso-President-Natalicio-Elected-ACE-Board-Chair.aspx Diana Natalicio, president of The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), has been elected chair of the Board of Directors of ACE, the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher education institutions (March 2013).
