This year, SIPB won the Karl Taylor Compton prize, which is the highest award that MIT bestows to students or student groups! I and some other folks went to the awards convocation to receive it from President Hockfield:

Thanks to all the SIPB members over the years who made this possible: this was certainly a multi-decade event in the making. From handing out computer time in the early 70’s, to developing Debathena, Scripts, and XVM over the last few years, SIPB has worked hard to help better the state of computing at MIT and everywhere else, and we will continue to do so in the future!
