Based on jury's comments, scores, and deliberations, we are happy to announce the following awards for this year. * Student Chapter of the Year Award: ASIS&T is pleased to announce that Pratt ASIS&T at the Pratt Institute's School of Information (SI) is the 2016 winner of the ASIS&T Student Chapter of the Year Award. In selecting Pratt ASIS&T for the award, the jury considered the chapter's membership, activities, communications, financial and administrative management, and contributions to ASIS&T and the broader IS community. Not content to rest after winning the 2015 Student Membership Award, Pratt ASIS&T began the 2015-2016 year with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Armed with data from their fall membership survey, the officers worked hard to attract new members, plan programs and activities, and expand collaborations with other organizations. Among many other events and activities, Pratt presented its chapter by handing out cord wraps imprinted with the ASIS&T logo to new students at the Pratt SI orientation, collaborating with a SIG (Special Interest Group) to produce a text mining webinar for the ASIS&T membership, and hosting a series of faculty Speakeasy events. Pratt ASIS&T combined learning, networking, career development, and fun while strengthening and engaging their membership. Please join us in congratulating Pratt ASIS&T on their many accomplishments! * Chapter Membership Growth Awards: The ASIS&T Student Chapter Membership Competition fosters student engagement in ASIS&T by encouraging student chapters to recruit more members.
