Overview
In 2001, the Institute launched a program to encourage broad-based recognition for MIT employees. The program 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 and academic staff. It is also meant to supplement, rather then replace, existing reward mechanisms, and is separate and distinct from base pay.
The leadership of the School of Engineering believes it is very important to recognize meritorious achievements by our staff, both as individuals and as teams, and we do this every year with our own School of Engineering Infinite Mile Awards.
