In October 2002, Green received the first EDUCAUSE Award for Leadership in Public Policy and Practice. The award cites his work in creating The Campus Computing Project and recognizes his "prominence in the arena of national and international technology agendas, and the linking of higher education to those agendas."  And in February 2019, EdTech Digest cited Green on its list of "100 Top Influencers in EdTech," noting that he is a “definitive source for the higher education transformation conversation.”
