EDUCAUSE Catalyst Award

About the Award

Nominations for the 2010 Catalyst Award are open. The nomination deadline is February 10, 2010.

Nominations for the 2010 awards commence November 20, 2009. The nomination deadline is February 10, 2010. Please visit each award page for specific details.

The Catalyst Award is intended to recognize IT innovation and thought leadership of an individual or individuals on a campus who have generated a creative technology idea that served as a catalyst for campus change. The idea may be adopted on the recipient’s campus, or could have spread more broadly within a system or to other institutions.

Award recipients are selected by the EDUCAUSE Recognition Committee.

Guidelines and Eligibility

The Catalyst award is not limited to individuals from the traditional IT department/service units on a campus. The candidate could be a faculty member, someone involved in IT support in academic units and libraries, student service personnel, academic technology/instructional designers, possibly even cabinet members, in addition to IT staff and management. While CIOs would be eligible for this award we expect that campus CIOs/CTOs would more likely be the individuals making the nominations for these awards.
Candidates may not be currently serving on the EDUCAUSE Board, staff, or Recognition Committee.
Awards will be made at the discretion of the Recognition Committee, which may choose to grant no award or multiple awards in any one year.
Each nomination will be judged on three primary factors:
- Description of the innovation and why this was important at the individual implementation site (e.g., campus, department, unit, etc.)
- Identification of the individual(s) identified as the catalyst for the deployment of the innovation
- Evidence regarding the deployment and the impact of the innovation, as well as the “catalyst’s” role in the development and deployment.
In addition the Recognition Committee will also look for evidence that supports:
- Level of innovation given the campus context
- Evidence of “uniqueness”
- Evidence of successful deployment
- Evidence of sustained deployment
- Extensible to other similar environments/situations
- Evidence documenting role of nominee as the leader
- Evidence of cost/benefit
