Glenn A. Reich Memorial Award for Instructional Technology

Glenn Reich believed in a humanistic, collaborative approach to instructional technology. He believed that "technology could enrich the teaching and learning process; it could open the doors for new opportunities and new ideas."
This award was established in 1999 by Lori Reich in memory of her late husband, Glenn Reich, former Director of User Services at Harper College. Glenn wanted to share his love of computers with students and faculty members. He encouraged faculty and staff to invest their energy in the technology that he knew would dramatically affect our world. Glenn believed every academic discipline should expose students to technology and assist them to become more comfortable with it. This award is devoted to realizing and carrying forward that vision.
