Staff of DSL Celebrate "Going the Extra Mile"
May 26 marked the annual Division of Student Life Infinite Mile Awards.
Members for the various departments under the DSL umbrella gathered in Walker Memorial to celebrate each other's accomplishments. This year presented challenges in areas of student support, sexual assault, the FSILG community, and unplanned renovations to Sidney Pacific Graduate Residence Hall. Dean for Student Life Chris Colombo hosted the event and presented gifts to DSL award winners.
The room also recognized staff and faculty who had worked at MIT for at least 25 years, becoming members of MIT’s Quarter Century Club. Eight new individuals were inducted into this group so devoted to serving the MIT community.
