The Center for Instructional Innovation is pleased to announce its annual Innovation Competition that will take place January–April, 2021.

The competition aims to provide innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial solutions for a significant challenge that affects our communities. Students are invited to create an innovative solution to a challenge currently facing communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These solutions can be in the form of either a product or a service.
