Is your campus a leader when it comes to technology? If so, eCampus News invites your chancellor, CIO, or IT director to nominate your campus for our “eCampus of the Month” awards program.

eCampus News wants to recognize the hard work that has helped your campus become a model for others seeking to more effectively integrate technology into every aspect of the educational and administrative process.

If your campus is selected as a winner, we’ll use the information you submit to compile a story outlining your campus’s technology efforts. You’ll also be featured in our weekly eMail newsletters and in other prominent ways.

Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis and are judged by eCampus News editors according to the Hallmarks of Excellence we’ve listed after the nomination form.
