Here is an excerpt from his nomination: Ray is a critical member of our SJMC Family and the Drake campus. When the world had to pivot due to pandemic shut-downs, Ray was a vital resource for SJMC faculty who had to not only teach virtually but also implement full-scale television productions in a virtual environment. He leaned on his professional industry connections and MacGyver-like skills to ensure the technology was in place to support students’ learning. … Ray’s constant focus on student support and fiscally responsible innovation is a valuable asset, and he epitomizes the Call to be True Blue!
