The Joe Saupe Award for Best First-Time Presenters
This award was created in honor of Joe Saupe, Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Missouri, Columbia. Joe was one of the founding members of both AIR and MidAIR and has been a role model for many institutional researchers. Among his many publications, he authored one of the seminal documents of the field, The Functions of Institutional Research. The Joe Saupe Award is an honorary award initially given to Joe in recognition of his years of participation in and contributions to MidAIR. Subsequently, it has been awarded to first-time presenters at MidAIR to acknowledge the quality of their presentation, and as an encouragement to other newcomers to the field of IR to present at future MidAIR conferences.
