EQ Contribution of the Year Award

EDUCAUSE Quarterly Contribution of the Year Award, retired in 2008

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 encourageed such effort by honoring unusually effective and well-reasoned articulation of professional experience that would be of use to other institutions and individuals.

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

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