So many awards, so much time (2021-2022)
It takes time to apply for STC recognition, so we are pleased the IDL SIG team came back from the 2022 Summit Honors Reception with a lot to celebrate. Our team and individuals worked long hours in 2021 to fill out and submit the necessary forms. We were rewarded with the following awards and honors:
- Platinum Community Achievement Award (CAA)
- Most Improved Community
- Pacesetter awards
- First Fridays at 5
- Online Summit social event: Scavenger Hunt
- Distinguished Service Award (DSSA) recipient, Marcia Shannon
- Distinguished Service Award for Students (DSAS) recipient, Anita Matechuk
- Alpha Sigma Honor Society inducted member, Anita Matechuk
At the Honors Reception, we also had fun cheering for Jamye Sagan, who received her 2021 Associate Fellow award.
IDL members Li-At (Ruttenburg) Rathbun and Ben Woelk collected their Fellow awards during the Honors Reception, as well.
Congratulations to our IDL SIG members for their many accomplishments!
