When Agnessa Vartanova joined CU as associate vice president of internal audit just over three years ago, she was new to higher education. The accounting professional arrived from DaVita Inc., a Fortune 500 company in Colorado, and she previously served in corporate leadership positions at TTEC Holdings Inc. and Ball Corp., another Colorado-based Fortune 500 company.
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Open CU Committee on Tuesday recognized exceptional individuals dedicated to open educational resources (OER) with the OER Champion Awards. Each honoree received a $650 award and was recognized by President Todd Saliman at the awards presentation hosted by the Office of Academic Affairs at 1800 Grant St. The event also featured the announcement of a record amount of funding through the Colorado OER Grant Program, promising the continued adoption and creation of OER to benefit University of Colorado students at the four campuses.
