Nominate a Higher Ed Leader for a Summit Award

Do you know a department or school doing great work in higher education?

At Salesforce.org, we believe deeply in recognizing hard work. I see it every day in our offices and in our community; we are constantly lifting each other up higher to reach shared goals.

At this year’s Summit Awards, at the Higher Ed Summit, our higher ed community will recognize three schools for working hard and innovating. The Summit Awards is the perfect opportunity for you to recognize your colleagues, your team, and your university as the truly exceptional place it is. Submitting a nomination only takes 15 minutes, so be sure to nominate education trailblazers by January 25th to celebrate their hard work!

Last year, the first Summit Awards were presented during the evening reception on the second day of the Higher Ed Summit. Attendees walked into the Austin Social Club, a familiar room where lunch was served that day, to find it completely transformed. By the time the awards were presented, everyone was excited to hear the winners. The awards for Student Success and Operational Efficiency were voted on in the Power of Us Hub and received hundreds of votes. Many of those voters were in the room that night, ready to hear the announcement! Peter Coffee presented the awards to Arizona State University, University of Florida and University of Wisconsin-Extension.
