2013 Innovators Awards

2013 Campus Technology Innovators

Higher One is the official sponsor of the 2013 CT Innovators Awards.

Congratulations to our 2013 Campus Technology Innovators! Out of a total of 235 entries, nine honorees rose to the top in six categories: Education Futurists; Teaching and Learning, IT Infrastructure and Systems; Student Systems and Services; Leadership, Governance, and Policy; and Administrative Systems. These IT leaders have found innovative ways to tackle tech challenges large and small, and really made a difference on their campuses. Worthy of recognition, too, are the vendors and products that help make these projects a reality.

Our thanks to the members of our Innovators Judging Committee (see "Meet the Judges" below), as well as all who submitted nominations this year.

Meet the Judges

As part of the evaluation process for the Campus Technology Innovators award program, entries were reviewed by our Innovators Judging Committee, a group of higher ed tech leaders, many of whom are former Innovators themselves. Judges did not review entries from their own institutions. Final winners were chosen by our team of editors.
