Meet 2020 Distinguished Outreach Professor Ricardo Valerdi: entrepreneur, engineer, dad, sports fan and STEM evangelist. When faced with the challenge, ""how do we get more qualified, diverse students into our engineering college,"" instead of going to college fairs, Ricardo looked upstream, and considered what kids are excited about when they begin to find abstract math difficult. From there, the Science of Sport was born. And young fans began to see how the angle of a hit can determine a home run or a foul ball – so science made sense, and was even fun and relevant. It wasn't just the kids: Major League sports stepped up in a big way.

The title of Distinguished Outreach Faculty recognizes outstanding faculty whose scholarship-based outreach to the state, nation and the world has demonstrated sustained excellence in the University’s outreach mission.

About the University of Arizona:
Universities are defined by their people, and you could say the people here were born to challenge "business as usual." The University of Arizona existed before Arizona was a state. Our first graduating class in 1895 consisted of two women and one male.

Since then, we've learned that we're better together. We do more when we work across backgrounds, skills and perspectives. That's how we've become long-time partners with NASA, leaders in both the arts and sciences, and able to prepare students to succeed in a world where most of the jobs today's kindergartners will have don't even exist yet. We know how to converge.
