St. Cloud State University professor Mark Lee has received national recognition for winning the Richard Kaywood Memorial Award through the American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (ADTSEA).
Beginning in 1985, an award has been presented at the annual ADTSEA conference to an individual for outstanding contributions to traffic safety. The award was established in memory of Dr. Richard Kaywood, who served the Association and traffic safety education for many years.
Lee was presented the award at the national conference in Albany, New York.
“Mark actively tries to get people involved in making traffic safety education better, and he is always looking for ways to improve education on a local, statewide or national level,” said Melissa Hanzsek-Brill, Dean of the College of Education and Learning Design. “His leadership is outstanding, and he is very deserving of this honor.”
Lee has served on the board of directors for ADTSEA and was the association’s president in 2019. Lee was also named Teacher of Excellence for ADTSEA in 2006.
