​2020 Distinguished Service Award

Steven Walters

The award for Distinguished Service recognizes individuals who have contributed exceptionally to IALE-NA in terms of time, energy, and dedication that advanced the mission of IALE-NA in an extraordinary manner. The recipients of this year’s award was Dr. Steven Walters. Dr. Walters spent eleven years running the Graduate Student Best Presentation Award.  Coordinating the student participants, the judges, and the assignments is an enormous task, with many moving pieces. Even after Steve stepped down from this position the burden was much eased by the detailed records and notes that Steven provided his successor: everything from lists of previous participants to email templates for every stage of the process. An amazing level of organization and thought that went into it, and the continued efficiency and success of the program is entirely due to Steven’s legacy. Steven ably managed anywhere from 13 to 32 (mean of 21) student presentations each year, along with three volunteer judges for each, tallied up the scores, and presented the final results. These numbers are known because of his detailed record-keeping.
