The 2022 Catalyst Awards are here!

About the program  

Now in its 17th year, the Catalyst Awards program continues to recognize and honor members of our global client community who are pushing the boundaries of education, discovering innovative ways to leverage technology to enhance the learner’s experience, and collaborating on best practices. 

Last year 58 winners worldwide were selected across 7 categories. This year, they will be recognized in the following 9 areas: 

  • Assessment & Institutional Effectiveness   
  • Community Engagement   
  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
  • Institutional Advancement  
  • Leading Change 
  • Optimizing the Student Experience
  • Student Success 
  • Teaching & Learning
  • Training & Professional Development   

We look forward to celebrating innovation and excellence! 

Do you know anyone in your academic community that made a difference in the past year in one of these areas? Help us acknowledge these achievements by submitting a nomination today for an individual or team whose leadership and innovative work had a significant impact and deserve to be celebrated. Nominations are open through March 31, to licensed users of Blackboard and/or Anthology software and services from all regions. 

Submissions will be evaluated by an internal cross-functional panel of judges who have significant experience and expertise in these areas, and winners will be officially announced in June. They will also be recognized in a special Awards Ceremony at our Anthology Together User Conference in July.
