In 2013, we launched BITSAA International Volunteer Awards - our tiny way of appreciating the excellent work put forth by our volunteers. We continue with the tradition, and so here we are with BITSAA Awards 2015.

This year, the BITSAA International members were recognized for their high quality work in the below categories:

Most Successful Team - Given to the team(s) that has shown remarkable commitment, excellent execution beyond the listed goals, and credible collaboration across teams.All BITSAA teams are eligible to be nominated in this category.
Exceptional Leadership - Given to the individual(s) who has proven to be an exceptional leader with proven integrity, interpersonal skills, goal setting for team, and carrying the team along with him/her. This category is intended for Managers and above, but exceptions will be made if there is sufficient justification.

Congratulations to all the winners!! You add even more meaning to "BITS Pilani, Need I say more!", a phrase that remains on my favorite tee from BITS days.

Albert Einstein said, "

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

I hope each and every one of us BITSians will likewise draw from our imaginations to take the individual and our alma mater to great heights!
