EDUCAUSE Quarterly Contribution of the Year Award

About the Award

Professional growth, particularly in the fast-moving world of information resources management practitioners, requires a steady flow of reliable, relevant information. One of the fundamental means for transmitting significant experiences and wisdom among colleagues is through publication in a peer-reviewed journal (prior to 2000, this journal was known as CAUSE/EFFECT). This award program encourages such effort by honoring unusually effective and well-reasoned articulation of professional experience that will be of use to other institutions and individuals.

Winners of this award are selected by the EDUCAUSE Quarterly Editorial Committee.

This award program is sponsored by SunGard Higher Education, An EDUCAUSE Platinum Partner.
