On April 16, the School of Science held a luncheon and Infinite Mile Award ceremony to honor staff members and postdoc fellows and affiliates whose accomplishments far exceed their typical assigned roles and duties.
Since the Infinite Mile Award program was established in 2001, the School of Science has presented the awards to approximately 300 of its members, all of them nominated by their supervisors, department heads, and lab directors for their outstanding work.
