[edtech] Neiterman Award Winners

[Jerry Grochow]

Steven Wade Neiterman was an ambassador for the Information Systems
department whose dedication to collaboration, knowledge sharing and teamwork
permeated all aspects of his life.  For Steve, the shared success of the
team was more important than individual accolades, and he used his abilities
to educate, influence, and solve problems to ensure its success.  Steve was
a dedicated 14-year employee of the Institute when he died unexpectedly in
1998.  To honor his memory and the values he exemplified, the Neiterman
family has generously provided MIT with a gift to recognize one or two
individuals who best demonstrate Steve's spirit and zeal for life.

This year, we honor Don Nelson of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center and
Katie Livingston-Vale of Information Services & Technology as the 2004
Steven Wade Neiterman Award winners.  Katie and Don were honored for the
special qualities they share with Wade.  Their nominations cite dedication
to teamwork and to the mission of the Institute, as well as their calm and
considerate approach to challenging situations.  The "Wade Awards" of a
framed citation and $2000 were presented to Katie and Don by Oliver Thomas,
last year's award recipient, at the Information Services and Technology
Spring Event for the IT community.   Our sincerest congratulations to Katie
and Don as this year's award winners, and thanks for all their contributions
not only this year, but throughout their dedicated tenure at the Institute.

The Award Committee and I would also like to thank the many people in the
community who submitted nominations for this year's Steven Wade Neiterman
Award.  The number and quality of award nominations shows the importance
that the community places on the dedicated service of their IT providers.

accepted next March.
