The Ellucian Impact Award celebrates the higher education visionaries inspiring others to push the boundaries of technology and innovation. The annual award recognizes the institution utilizing technology to produce a better student experience, to become more efficient, and to resolve challenges.
How it works
Is your institution innovating to enhance the student and constituent experience? Has your campus been modernized and transformed by technology? Have the changes you’ve made had an impact on the higher education community? Share your stories and be recognized for the impact your institution is having in higher education technology.
Customers can nominate themselves for an award or can be nominated by others inspired by their work. The nomination window is open until January 25, 2019.
An internal and external panel will review the nominations and will select one winner and two finalists. The winner and finalists will be publicly announced and showcased at Ellucian Live 2019.
