CU employees have good ideas that they put into practice every day, saving the University time, money, and hassles. The CU Innovation & Efficiency (CU I&E) Awards Program is designed to recognize these practices.
The Office of University Controller has just opened up the 2023 CU I&E Program for submissions. Now is your chance to tell us how you’ve re-engineered operations, enhanced communication, built employee engagement, improved customer service, or otherwise made CU work better. You can inspire other employees to take a new look at their own procedures. You may even win a cash prize.
This year’s submission period will close March 31, after which we’ll begin the difficult process of selecting semifinalists and then, the winners. Winning projects -- to be announced before the end of the current fiscal year -- will be awarded cash prizes ranging from $1,000-1,500 (all subject to taxes and withholding).
Here's how to participate:
- Watch our short video and learn about program requirements.
- Find out what others have shared in previous program years: you can check out Past Submissions by category ... by campus ... or in alphabetical order by submission title.
- Then, fill out the submission form for your own project!
