Last month, Kiara Killelea was chosen to receive the 2020 Kristian Rose Memorial Scholarship. 

Kiara was a communications intern for the 2018 Summer Games and was primarily responsible for marketing the games and upcoming events through social media. Kiara will be graduating this spring from the Isenberg School of Management with degrees in sport management and marketing. On campus, she is involved with Women in Sport Management (WISM) as the President and the Associations for Diversity in Sport.

The Kristian Rose Memorial Scholarship was established by Bay State Games and UMass Amherst in memory of Kristian Rose, who was tragically killed in an auto accident during his Bay State Games internship. This scholarship is open to Sport Management students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with preference given to students with community service experience, and financial need.
