The Jenzabar Impact Awards Return for a Second Year!
The Jenzabar Impact Award recognizes an individual, program, or department at a Jenzabar client institution who has gone above and beyond in their role on campus to make an impact on students, community, and/or employees. Nominated by a peer at their institution, the individual or department will show excellence in promoting student success and development. This can be through a new program or initiative the nominee created or through individual or team contributions.
