The School of Science has announced its 2015 winners of the Infinite Mile Award and Infinite Kilometer Award. Both awards honor staff members in all categories whose accomplishments and contributions far exceed their assigned duties.

Since the Infinite Mile Award program was established in 2001, the School of Science has presented the awards to more than 300 of its members based on the nominations of grateful colleagues. The Infinite K, which is designated for postdoctoral researchers and research scientists, was added in 2012 to recognize their contributions both to our scientific endeavors as well as to the MIT community as mentors and advisors to students and colleagues.
