Leadership in Academia Award

The Intel Academic Community is a vibrant group of professors, faculty, and researchers from over 1000 Universities around the world. While this community is naturally made up of leaders and educators, on a regular basis there are certain individuals whose contributions require special consideration.

The Leadership in Academia Award is presented to a member whose contributions to the field of Computer Science Information Technology and specifically to the advancement of a Parallel Computing Curriculum have made a profound impact.

Leaders in Academia are those whose on and off-line activities support the community as a whole. This includes accomplishments such as creative use of Intel Curriculum, Training other educators, Blogging, Creating case-studies, Reviewing beta curriculum, Creating and sharing new teaching tools, courseware, labs and code, Speaking at events, Participation in forums, Serving on advisory boards, etc.
