Williams Outstanding Technology Service Award
The Williams Outstanding Technology Service Award was established in 2001 by David B. and Kay O. Williams to recognize an individual who has made extraordinary contributions to the University in the area of technology and service. The purpose of the Williams Outstanding Technology Service Award is to provide significant recognition and a monetary award to a staff person who has made extraordinary contributions to the University in the area of technology support that has a direct impact on scholarly activities of students and/or faculty.
The award recipient will be announced during the Teaching and Learning Symposium in January, will receive an individual recognition plaque, will have his/her name plate added to the permanent plaque in the Bone Student Center, and will receive a $600 cash award to support travel for professional development. This award will help recognize Dr. Williams' commitment to building a "technology-friendly campus" in support of learning, teaching, research, and creative activities at Illinois State University.
