Centers of Excellence Award



Centers of Excellence: 2005 Award Recipients
The NMC announced the recipients of the 2005 NMC Center of Excellence Award at the recent NMC Summer Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The award, the highest honor bestowed by the NMC, recognizes demonstrated excellence and outstanding achievement in the application of technology to learning or creative expression.

Symbolized by a specially struck medallion suspended in a translucent obelisk, the Center of Excellence Award has been designed purposefully to make it distinct from other award or recognition programs. Colleges do not compete for the award, nor is it granted within predefined categories. The selection process is based on the MacArthur Awards, and like that program, the nominators and others involved in the selection process remain anonymous as a core principle of the program. They are chosen from organizations both within and outside the NMC, and represent a considerable diversity of knowledge.

"The NMC's Center of Excellence Awards celebrate the dedication and creativity that characterizes all the members of the NMC's community of innovators," said CEO Larry Johnson on behalf of the selection committee. "The colleges recognized this year represent the best of these extraordinary institutions, and each has a tremendous history of accomplishment."
