From the Judges' Report
The panel recognizes this project for its high quality execution and its engagement of students from the very beginning, with extra credit for choosing a launch day that was meaningful to the university. From the buy-in across the university, to the recurring meetings with stakeholders, to the well-conceived roll-out strategy, this was a true collaborative effort. The project could probably be implemented by other schools and, with its highly successful adoption rate, its principles and strategy should probably be shared more widely.
