Campus Technology has officially announced the recipients of its 2019 Impact Awards. After a nomination process that brought in submissions from across the world, 12 honorees were selected in five categories.
In their 15th year, the Campus Technology Impact Awards (formerly the Innovators Awards) recognize colleges and universities that are making an extraordinary impact with technology on campus, doing important work in the service of teaching, learning, administration and operations. These projects, both cutting-edge and well established, have made their mark on campus and on the higher ed community at large.
"These 12 projects provide great insight into all the ways technology can impact higher education, from the individual student all the way to institutional administration,” said Rhea Kelly, executive editor of Campus Technology. "We are pleased to recognize this year's honorees and provide an in-depth look into their stories over the coming months."
