Welcome to issue No. 39 of The Collaborative Field Notes.
Hello Collaborative members,
It's that time of year again when we start to think about the Annual Collaborative Awards at the Summit. We have the Spotlight Award, Champion Award, and Collaborative Member of the Year Award.
For the Spotlight Award, we are looking for best practice that deserves recognition and celebration. Guidelines can be found here and applications are due Februray 15, 2019. .
The Collaborative Member of the Year Award recognizes the university with the greatest point total for the year (we measure the year from Collaborative Summit to Collaborative Summit), so get your points in. If you've been saving your points, now is the time to submit them here. Below you'll see a look at the current leaderboard.
The Champion Award recognizes the strong partners we have in each of our Collaborative member champions. Your Collaborative team here at Babson will choose that award.
So, it's time to celebrate all of us and the great work we do! Welcome to awards season.
