EDUCAUSE Leadership Award

for Distinguished Performance and Outstanding Service

About the Award

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. This program recognizes prominent professionals whose work has had significant positive impact on the contributions of information technology to higher education. Such leadership takes many forms: Some individuals can see farther into the future than most and help others find their way in the changing technology landscape; some lead the development and application of key new technologies for higher education; some pioneer national and international policy agendas that help create a sustaining environment for higher education IT. Some create and manage elegantly structured, productive organizations, others excel at mentoring and cultivating the next generation of leaders. Through this award program, EDUCAUSE seeks to recognize the individuals who most clearly demonstrate the ability to serve and advance information technology within higher education.

Award recipients are selected by the EDUCAUSE Recognition Committee.

EDUCAUSE awards are sponsored by SunGard Higher Education, An EDUCAUSE Platinum Partner.
