Figure 1:  SIDLIT 2016 Awards Coming Up! 

Each year, members of the Colleague to Colleague group nominate worthy individuals who exemplify the best examples of who our members represent.  Members recommend colleagues for either the Outstanding Technical  Support Person Award, Innovation in Teaching Award or the Jonathan Bacon Leadership Award.

Once all of the nominations are submitted, as much identifying information as possible is removed so that the reviewers will look only at the nomination information rather than the personalities as they make their selections.   

For the 2016 SIDLIT awards, we had a great group of nominees and the judging was very close.  The list of those honored with a nomination included:

Brent A. Anders - Kansas State University
