Internet2 Issues Call for 2018 Richard Rose Award Nominees

 

The Richard Rose Award, established in 2009, recognizes extraordinary individual efforts to extend the benefits of advanced networking to the broadest range of formal and informal education communities, including K-12 schools, community colleges, public libraries, museums, and other cultural, artistic, historic, and scientific organizations. Each year, the Rose Award honors an individual with a history of extending advanced networking, content, and services to a wide array of institutions and constituents; a leader with strong mentoring qualities and the capacity to bring together diverse communities around common goals and projects; an individual with an accumulated record of accomplishments that increase teaching, learning, and other life-improving opportunities for all across the broader Internet2 community.  The recipient will be recognized during a plenary session at the Internet2 2018 Global Summit May 6-9 in San Diego, California.

 

Richard Rose (1947-2007) was an early leader in the National Internet2 K20 Initiative, now part of Internet2’s U.S. UCAN program. As executive director of the University of Maryland Academic Telecommunications System (UMATS) and the University System of Maryland (USM) Office of Information Technology, he was an indefatigable advocate for extending the benefits of advanced networking to students at all levels—in both formal and information education— to broaden and deepen opportunities in learning, scholarship, and science.  Rose's energetic and thoughtful leadership continues to inspire colleagues from around the country who share his dedication to this important mission.
