Ellucian Impact Award
The Ellucian Impact Award celebrates the higher education visionaries who are inspiring others to push the boundaries of technology and innovation. Nominees should demonstrate how digital solutions enabled them to overcome challenges, inspire change, operate more efficiently, and enhance the student and constituent experience.

How it works
Is your institution innovating to enhance the student and constituent experience? Has your institution made efforts to creatively improve student well-being? Has your campus undergone digital transformation or used data to better inform decision-making?
This is your chance to tell your story and be recognized for your institution’s impact.
Ellucian customers may nominate themselves or be nominated by others inspired by their work.
Internal and external panels will review nominations to select the award winners. Award recipients will be publicly announced and showcased at Ellucian Live 2022.
The Ellucian Impact Award is open to all current Ellucian customers. Institutions must complete and submit the entry form no later than January 14, 2022, 5 p.m. ET.
