This week, the finalist teams are completing their audio interviews. The OUC's s Multimedia Communications Team incorporates audio files into animated videos that describe the highlights of each submission and visualize the impact of the project. In May, the CU I&E selection committee will watch the videos as part of a live Question & Answer session, and then determine award winners. We expect to make the award announcement in early June.
Thank you to all CU I&E submitters this year!
We appreciate and congratulate all submitters whose innovative projects were vetted and published on the OUC's CU I&E website this year. Thank you for your efforts to make CU work better. Thank you for sharing that work with your peers across the University.
