Innovation of the Year Award Recipient Recognition

Pins and Certificates

Each 2023-2024 League Innovation of the Year Award recipient will receive a commemorative pin, an Innovation of the Year Award certificate, and a copy of the League Awards Program (see below). Award recipients who attend the 2025 Innovations Conference will receive their pin and awards program on site. All certificates and remaining pins and programs will be mailed to the president or chancellor of each participating college for distribution in mid-April.
