Models of Efficiency

Does your department measure up?

If the answer is "Yes!" -- here's your opportunity to stand out from the crowd.

University Business presents Models of Efficiency, a national recognition program honoring colleges and universities that meet the higher education business and technology challenges of today's campus.

Something powerful is happening in higher education! New approaches are streamlining operations to deliver superior service to students in less time and at lower cost than previously possible.

Innovative models of efficiency are replacing the resource-draining, time-consuming practices of yesterday. Models of Efficiency not only do more with less, but do it better.

Simply put, a model of efficiency is an administrative practice or procedure that uses technology and smart business processes to provide superior service to students, while optimizing resources.

Applications are being accepted now for the 2013 program.
