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 11, 2019, 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 11-29, 2019);
- a call-in question-and-answer period (Tuesday, April 9, 2019); and,
- a demo table at the CU I&E Exposition & Awards Ceremony (Tuesday, May 7, 2019-see below).
Awards are decided by a larger voting body (selection committee and CU System Senior Vice President & Chief of Staff, Director of the Office of Policy & Efficiency, 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 Tuesday, May 7, 2019 (CU System Building, 1800 Grant St., Denver). Award winners are announced at the conclusion of the event. All employees are invited to attend.
