How are submissions judged?
Submissions are reviewed first by the CU I&E Program Manager, who will contact the submitter with any questions, and then by the selection committee (campus controllers/deputy controllers and University Controller), who will determine if the submissions meet program criteria. Those that do are posted on the CU I&E website.
At the end of the program submission period, the selection committee again reviews all posted submissions in order to identify a group of semi-finalists. The semi-finalists form the pool for award consideration.
How are awards determined?
Semi-finalists are notified by Monday, March 16, 2020, and invited to three recognition activities as part of the awards determination process:
- a short video interview (at the Office of University Controller during March 17-27, 2020);
- a call-in question-and-answer period (April 20, 2020); and,
- a demo table at the CU I&E Exposition & Awards Ceremony (May 11, 2020-see below).
Awards are decided by a larger voting body comprised of the selection committee and CU System Senior Vice President & Chief of Staff, Vice President for Communication, and Senior Associate Vice President & Chief Business Officer.
CU I&E Expo & Awards Ceremony
Semi-finalists demo their innovations and answer audience questions at the CU I&E Expo on May 11, 2020 (CU System Building, 1800 Grant St., Denver). Award winners are announced at the conclusion of the event. All employees are invited to attend.
