Dear Pardee RAND Community,

In all they do, our distinguished graduates represent Pardee RAND and make a tremendous impact on the world around us.

This year, I’m excited to recognize five outstanding alumni: Gordon Bitko, Sai Ma, Nick Ramphal, Jack Riley, and Jennifer Walters. These graduates have demonstrated leadership throughout their careers and have made important contributions through their research and service in the federal government, military, private enterprise, and law. It is no exaggeration to say that their careers—and their dedication to Pardee RAND—are truly noteworthy. For more information on our 2022 distinguished alumni awardees, please visit our Alumni Awards page.

Congratulations Jack, Sai, Gordon, Nick, and Jennifer!

Warm wishes for a terrific May,

Nancy Staudt
