2020-2021 Innovation of the Year Awards

Established over 35 years ago, the League’s Innovation of the Year Awards were devised as a way to recognize significant innovations at Board and Alliance member colleges. These innovations reflect significant achievements and the spirit of innovation and experimentation upon which the League was founded. The award honors faculty, staff, and administrators at member colleges who have created and implemented innovative programs, practices, partnerships, policies, and activities that improve the institution’s ability to serve students and the community.

This year, the President's Cabinet reviewed four proposals submitted by MCC faculty and staff for the League of Innovations, Innovation of the Year Award.  Although we were only able to submit one proposal to represent the college, we want to recognize all of the teams that submitted proposals for our consideration:

  • "CircleIn" - submitted by Elina Belyablya, Kimberley Collins, Jamie Hoover, Jason Parker and Sara Revello
  • "Dream Keepers Express" - submitted by Errika Brooks, John Delate, Marla Dinkel, Melissa Gue, Virginia Geer-Mentry and Christyn Sanagursky
  • "Pool Testing" - submitted by Jacqueline Carson and Tony Perez
  • "College Researcher Badging Program" - submitted by Anjali Parasnis-Samar and Alice Wilson

The winner of the 2020-2021 Innovation of the Year Award is the College Research Badging Program.  To read more about their proposal summary, click on League of Innovation Award winners link. 

The league will honor the award recipients during the 2022 Innovations Conference, which will be held in the spring. Recipients will receive a copy of the awards program, a commemorative pin, and a certificate. Winners will also be invited to submit a proposal to present their winning innovation at the Conference.

Please join me in recognizing all of these employees who are true reflections of how MCC is Inspiring Every Day.
