For his work on state-wide inclusion and diversity issues, Dr. Reyes received the 2013 Exemplary Educator for Diversity Award for the state of Utah from the National Association of Multicultural Education (NAME).

Kyle received his Ph.D. in Education Leadership and Policy from the University of Utah and was the recipient of the Elmo R. & Frances Bennion Morgan Fellowship.
