The Office of the Provost and the Office of the Vice President
and Dean for Research announced at an awards luncheon on Monday,
May 21, 2001 that Ms. Mary E. Young, RLE's Fiscal Officer,
and Mr. David W. Foss, RLE's Computer Facilities Manager,
would receive MIT Infinite Miles Awards for 2001.
Of Ms. Young, the award announcement presented the following
quotations:
- "Mary's combination of intelligence, expertise, dedication
and good humor reflects nothing but the highest credit on
the Laboratory."
- "All personal encounters with Ms. Young are marked
by her friendly smile and her eagerness to provide the help
that is asked."
- "She not only mentors personnel within the Laboratory,
she also finds the time toprovide advice and counsel to
financial officers outside of the Laboratory."
Of Mr. Foss, the award announcement presented the following
quotations:
- "Quite often, Dave pulls off the impossible, and
in this way, serves the Laboratory and the Institute with
distinction matched only by a few."
- "He unselfishly gives his time to our organization
while still obviously maintaining a working technical environment
in his own lab...he goes where he is needed and stays until
the job is completed to his satisfaction."
The Infinite Miles Award program is part of MIT's Rewards
and Recognition Program. The intent of the program is
to encourage broad-based recognition for MIT employees who
make exceptional contributions above and beyond their daily
job functions. The program itself is meant to provide opportunities
to recognize and reward members of MIT's administrative staff,
support staff, service staff, sponsored research staff, and,
when appropriate, faculty. |
