There were a large number of very qualified nominees for each award and these recipients are very deserving.

All of the recipients received remarkable feedback from their colleagues and graduate students for their exceptional service, mentorship and innovative ideas.
The judging committee found the process to be inspiring, as there were many large and small examples of inspiration, academic accomplishment, generosity of spirit, tangible support and personal warmth and kindness throughout the nominations.
