[edtech] 2006 Steven Wade Neiterman Award Nominations

[Jerry Grochow]

I am writing to call your attention to the nomination process for the 2006
Steven Wade Neiterman Award.  This is the fifth year for the Neiterman
award, and it has become an important event for entire IT community at MIT.
As many of you know, this award is presented annually to one or two
individuals working anywhere at MIT in an information technology capacity.
Any member of the MIT community may nominate an IT colleague. Nominees can
be anyone with a part-to-full time MIT appointment who devotes at least 50%
effort to providing IT services (IS&T directors and members of the
nominating committee excluded). 

 

Steven Wade Neiterman worked at MIT for 11 years and was a beloved member of
the IT community on campus. His work and life exemplified many excellent
qualities and it is these that we look for in making this award. Nominees
for the award should consistently demonstrate the following in their
professional and personal life:

 

o collaborative problem solving

o coaching colleagues

o team building

o creating community

o sharing knowledge

o getting things done, and

o commitment to MIT

 

Nominations may be completed on-line (http://web.mit.edu/ist/wadeaward/)
where you will also find more information about Steve and the Neiterman
Award.  Alternatively, nominations may be submitted on paper through the
campus mail (c/o Office of the Vice President for Information Services and
Technology, Room 10-219, MIT).  Nominations must be received no later than
midnight Wednesday, April 19, 2006.

 

The recipient or recipients of the Neiterman Award will be announced at the
final home game for the MIT baseball team on May 5.  Presentation of the
$1000 award per recipient will be made at that time.

 

Inquiries may be directed to neiterman-award at mit.edu.

 

I look forward to this year's Neiterman Award process and celebration.
