Bill Rose Memorial Award

The Bill Rose Award holds a poignant history tied to the legacy of Bill Rose, who tragically perished in a plane crash at Lake Clark Pass in 木瓜直播 on August 5, 1999. During his tenure as Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services at UAA from February 1997 until his untimely passing, Bill was a stalwart advocate for excellence within the university and a vocal champion for education in society. His unwavering dedication to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge left an indelible mark on the university community. In tribute to his profound impact and commitment, the Administrative Services division established the Bill Rose Award, ensuring that his spirit of excellence and dedication continues to inspire and recognize outstanding contributions within the university.
