This award was intended to recognize a group or individual for contributing to the safety of Iowa State University and the mission of EH&S. ● Each EH&S team submitted a nomination for this award, and final decisions were made by a committee of EH&S colleagues. A strong partnership: Dr. Sundararajan’s efforts to establish a safety culture in the CoE were exceptional and had a top-down approach. He was instrumental in establishing the CoE safety steering committee in 2016, which led to creating a dedicated EH&S safety position for CoE. ● This partnership has allowed other departments to see the benefits of partnering with EH&S for safety support. ● His leadership spread and strengthened the safety culture across the CoE.
