EDUCAUSE Leadership Award

for Distinguished Performance and Outstanding Service

About the Award

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

The highest individual recognition offered by EDUCAUSE comes in the form of the EDUCAUSE Leadership Award, which acknowledges and celebrates leadership within and of higher education information technology. Through this award program, EDUCAUSE seeks to recognize prominent professionals—the “Summa Cum Laudes” in our field—whose work has had significant positive impact on advancing the theory and practice of information technology in higher education.

Award recipients are selected by the EDUCAUSE Recognition Committee.

SunGard Higher Education, An EDUCAUSE Platinum Partner, supports the EDUCAUSE Leadership award as an expression of its commitment to excellence.

Guidelines and Eligibility

Candidates must be or have been contributing members of our professional community, directly associated with managing information technology and resources in higher education, and individuals who have made significant and demonstrable contributions to the field.

Anyone, within or outside of higher education, may submit nominations for the award.
