The Law Library’s very own Melanie Knapp, Associate Dean of Library & Technology, was recently recognized as the recipient of 2026 Rick Holt Active Transportation Advocate Award!
This award recognizes a Mason faculty or staff member who is committed to utilizing, promoting, and advocating for the use of active transportation as part of their daily commute life.
Dean Knapp is an avid cyclist and regularly bikes from DC to the Mason Square campus every week for her commute. She’s also our biggest supporter in choosing to walk or bike to campus and a great resource for learning more about how Mason supports these active transportation options.
We were thrilled to join her on the Mason Square Plaza on Bike to Mason Day last week to receive her award - congratulations Dean Knapp! 🚴‍♀️
