This Excellence Award for Serving Our Community goes to David Randall, Senior Associate Dean and Chief of Staff in the Division of Student Life. David Randall has transformed a good many lives in his time at MIT. I know that because many of them wrote to tell us about their experiences.

Here are three excerpts from those testimonials:

“David has led the challenge to make MIT known for world-class student services that match the caliber of its academics. His understanding of students is unmatched by anyone on campus. He has masterfully woven together the many campus resources that support students, resulting in a seamless coordination of care.”

“David believes that MIT should be a place where—even in the most challenging of circumstances—we are ‘One MIT.’ And he is unparalleled in his ability to follow through with practical steps to make it so.”

And finally, “David sets the standard at MIT for how we should care for our students, their families, and each other.”
