John Lavallee Innovation Award

Congratulations to those who won the John Lavallee Innovation Award. The 2023 recipients are those who helped us establish Champ 101: Erika Lea and Corinne Novetti

The John Lavallee Innovation Award annually recognizes the person or group of people behind a technology solution, process improvement, or innovation effort that has had a significant, positive impact on the College. These positive impacts may come from faculty or staff, as they are both eligible for being nominated, and can touch any part of Champlain College. Consideration will be given to a variety of innovations using as broad and inclusive a definition of a positive impact as possible. Please note only current employees may be recipients of this award.

To nominate someone please go to the Nominations page.

Presented at the annual emploee recognition event.
