Winners of the Larry L. Sautter Award for Innovation in Information Technology
As UCR's Associate Vice Chancellor for Computing and Communications, Larry Sautter led the Riverside campus in technological innovation through entrepreneurial, effective, and efficient use of the resources at his disposal. The Joint Operations Group (now known as ITLC) individuals on all campuses with overall information technology management responsibility has instituted this award in his memory to encourage and recognize innovators in the deployment of information technology to conduct the University's business. The Sautter Award Program annually presents up to two Golden and two Silver Awards.

Award Program and Eligibility
The Sautter Award Program honors projects developed by faculty and staff in any department at any of the ten UC campuses, the UC Office of the President (UCOP), and the three UC-managed national laboratories. A selection committee appointed by the Joint Operations Group determines the award winners on the basis of submitted materials, and additional interviews if necessary. Members of the selection committee are drawn from at least three campuses and UCOP.
Program Goals
The Sautter Award Program seeks to highlight best practices in information technology in the
University by identifying exemplary innovations that make good use of resources and can be adopted by other University departments or campuses; that promote innovation that has the potential to improve the way the University conducts its business, even when the impact of the innovation will not be felt immediately; that define criteria for assessing innovative projects and set high standards for information technology deployment; that recognize innovative deployments of information technology without regard to the resources available to the initiating department or campus; and that offer rewards for risk taking.
Project Criteria
Projects submitted for consideration should:
- Involve the deployment of information technology rather than research on new technologies
- Use information technology to improve business or administrative processes or to deliver academic or programmatic material
- Advance the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service
- Be operational at a UC campus, having been implemented within the past three years
- Be portable and able to be implemented by other UC departments or campuses
The selection committee will give high rankings to projects that are:
- Faster, friendlier, cheaper, simpler
- Portable, scale-able, readily implement-able
- Assessable (representing a measurable return on investment)
- Collaborative
- Unique, new, different
