Each year, the SUNY Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology (FACT2) presents the FACT2 Excellence Awards, to recognize outstanding achievement in the use of technology to enhance teaching, learning, student support, and institutional leadership across SUNY. The awards are conferred by the Office of the Provost at the SUNY Conference on Instruction and Technology  in three categories: Instruction, Instructional Support, and Administrative Leadership, with awards presented to Community Colleges and State-Operated and Statutory Campuses in each category. 

Join Ed Beck, Chair of FACT2, and Janet Nepkie and Rachael Hagerman, Co-Chairs of the FACT2 Awards Committee, for this webinar featuring recent FACT2 Award recipients, who will share the innovations, strategies, partnerships, and leadership approaches that led to their success and earned statewide recognition. 

Participants will gain an inside look at how award-winning initiatives were conceived, implemented, and sustained, along with the challenges encountered and lessons learned along the way. Whether you are a faculty member, instructional support professional, administrator, or campus leader, you'll leave with practical ideas that can be adapted to your own institution, inspiration for future innovations, and a deeper understanding of how technology can advance student success across SUNY.
