A more formal announcement is forthcoming, but I felt a short announcement would be appropriate at this time. Regina Paulose, who coached Matt at Western Washington, contacted CEDA recently and raised the idea of naming an award in his honor. We agreed with this sentiment. Matt was the inaugural recipient of the Graduate Assistant of the Year award last year in recognition of his commitment in keeping the FSU program running while studying for his Ph.D. and fighting cancer all at once. It seemed only fitting that the award he received last year be named in his honor as he exemplified the qualities that all future recipients aspire to possess.
