The Ellucian Impact Award celebrates the higher education visionaries who are inspiring others to push the boundaries of technology and innovation. The annual award recognizes an institution using technology to solve challenges, operate more efficiently, and offer a better student experience.
How it works
Is your institution innovating to enhance the student and constituent experience? Has your campus undergone digital transformation? Has your institution used data to better inform decision-making? Have the changes you’ve made influenced the higher education community at large?
Share your stories and be recognized for your institution’s impact on higher education technology.
Customers can nominate themselves for an award or can be nominated by others inspired by their work. Nominations were accepted from October 14, 2019 through December 6, 2019.
Internal and external panels will review nominations to select a winner and finalists. The award recipients will be publicly announced and showcased at Ellucian Live Online 2020.
The Impact Award nomination window is now closed.
