Hancock Wins 2022 Ellucian Impact Award

APRIL 20, 2022 -- Allan Hancock College was selected by Ellucian, the leading higher education technology solutions provider, as a 2022 Impact Award winner in the Digital Transformation category.

The annual Impact Awards celebrate visionaries in higher education who are inspiring others to push the boundaries of technology and innovation.

“The Ellucian Impact Awards recognize institutions using technology to solve challenges, operate more efficiently, and offer a better student experience. This year’s winners are incredibly inspiring and demonstrate true leadership in driving transformation in higher education,” said Laura Ipsen, President and CEO, Ellucian. “We are honored to partner with institutions to deliver the modern solutions that empower and enable our customers to exceed students’ evolving expectations.”

The Digital Transformation category recognizes higher education institutions using digital technology to improve process efficiency and business value. Hancock was honored for its “Credit Where Credit’s Due” initiative, which uses Ellucian Banner and Degree Works to automatically award degrees to students who have met program completion requirements. A third of all degrees awarded in 2020-2021 were a result of Hancock’s “Credit Where Credit’s Due” initiative.

“We are honored to be recognized for the incredible work that Hancock's faculty and staff put into this transformational program,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers, Ph.D. “This is a prime example of how we are committed to changing the odds for our students.”

Hancock is one among eight institutions honored with this award and will receive a $25,000 grant as a winner. Visit the following link to learn more about the Ellucian Impact Awards: https://www.ellucian.com/impact-award
