Since arriving at San José State University in 1985, Bradley Stone has diligently served the university and the community. As co-director of the SJSU/NASA Faculty Fellowship Program, Stone secured $2.2 million in grants and contracts, which created collaborative research opportunities for more than 100 faculty members.

As a faculty advisor for KSJS, San José State’s campus radio station, Stone has influenced thousands of students. He has won multiple national awards for his work as a music director and jazz radio programmer at KSJS.

“For me to serve the university and the students in the other ways besides teaching and research is really important because it supports our mission in the CSU,” he said. “If I can contribute in some small way then that is very gratifying to me.”

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes a faculty member for exemplary service in a leadership capacity to the university/community that brings credit to San José State University.
