CEE is proud to share the news that our colleague, Matthew Rose, won the Diversity & Inclusion Award, one of the annual Stanford University School of Engineering Staff Service Awards.
With a talent for creating a welcoming and inclusive environment wherever he goes, Matt’s work “has profoundly impacted not only the School of Engineering but the broader Stanford community, promoting a culture of respect and understanding,” say his nominators. His work on the SoE Connect Committee includes planning its first Black History Month event—now an annual tradition—and he’s provided strong support to activities including recent Asian American & Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander and mental health awareness events. Beyond such events, “It’s his everyday positive attitude, empathy, and heartfelt engagement with his peers that make him a treasure within the School of Engineering,” say nominators.
Not long after the service awards ceremony in April, Matt moved to an administrative role in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department.
