Lane's Innovations of the Year
Every year the League for Innovation honors outstanding innovations that have been recognized by member institutions as Innovations of the Year. These innovations represent capstone achievements and the continuing renewal of the spirit of innovation and experimentation upon which the League was founded.
The criteria used to select the Innovation of the Year are:
- Effectiveness
- Efficiency
- Affordability
- Replicability
- Creativity
Lane's Innovation of the Year Award is selected every Winter Term by a committee that consists of a volunteer pool of previous award recipients, LCC Foundation staff and Board members and Lane's League Representative. In the event that none of the nominations are deemed to be of a caliber of nationwide recognition, no award will be made for that academic year.
Nominations for this year's Lane Innovation of the Year Awards are due by February 28, 2020. Everyone is encouraged to participate. Review the Selection Criteria and Submission Instructions. Let others know by posting and sharing this flyer in your department and with your colleagues.
