The Chancellor’s Innovator Award recognizes staff who bring fresh ideas to their work, inspires a spirit of innovation, and takes a bold approach to accomplish their work. Innovation and a bold, creative approach are vital to higher education – so it’s imperative to recognize and reward innovation throughout the organization. The nominee’s innovation should display efficient processes, cost savings, and/or increased productivity.
Your Innovator nominee should demonstrate at least three core competencies(collaboration, customer focus, ensures accountability, instills trust, values differences) through their project or work.
