The Office of the Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Information Services & Technology) is pleased to be celebrating the tenth year of sponsoring IT Awards. This year in particular, the University community was faced with unprecedented challenges and had to adapt quickly to new ways of working, teaching, and learning. IT professionals have done an incredible job in a short amount of time to support these new challenges and continue to adapt as we move forward.

If you know an individual or team who has demonstrated excellence in information technology, we encourage you to celebrate their efforts by sending in a nomination.

Submit a nomination!

IT Awards celebrate efforts of the University of Alberta's talented information technology faculty, staff, and students in the following five award categories:

IT Innovation Award

The IT Innovation Award recognizes one support staff or academic member and one team for their innovative use of hardware and/or software technology to successfully deploy a major IT project with significant impact to research, teaching, administration and/or the university experience. The successful nominees will have made a significant impact to a department, faculty, unit, or to the University.

IT Client Service Award

The IT Client Service Award recognizes one non-academic staff member and one team for providing a high quality of service to a faculty, unit, or department.

IT Unsung Hero Award

The IT Unsung Hero Award recognizes a non-academic staff member who has made a significant and largely unrecognized contribution to IT at the U of A.
