Campus Technology Announces 2008 "Innovators" at Boston Conference
CHATSWORTH, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Today Campus Technology magazine unveiled its 2008 technology "Innovators" at the 15th annual Campus Technology Conference in Boston, MA.
Guest speaker Edward V. Chapel, VP/IT at Montclair State University, joined Katherine Grayson, Editor-in-Chief of Campus Technology, at the morning's general session, where the winners were announced and their projects presented to a ballroom packed with education technology leaders looking for new approaches to their own IT challenges.
"Innovators" were chosen from hundreds of nominations submitted by campus technologists, their peers, and vendor partners. Submissions were reviewed by CT editors with 2008's 14 winners drawn from an initial group of 275 nominees.
Selections were based on true innovation--projects that involved not only solid technology implementations, but "stand out" aspects. Winning projects were notable for their unique approaches to tech challenges, or for providing exceptional benefit to the campus community. Projects chosen involved both large and small budgets, and targeted diverse technologies.
The Innovators are profiled in the August issue of Campus Technology, and on the web at campustechnology.com.
