University received Learning! 100 Corporate
Enterprise and Public Sector Award at Enterprise Learning!
Conference
Elearning! Media Group last month released its seventh annual
Learning! 100 Award winners, naming University of Phoenix one of
the top 100 learning organizations from the public and private
sectors for 2016 – specifically, in the top ten in the public
sector and education category. University of Phoenix was recognized
as a leader in innovation in acknowledgement of the forward
thinking design of education delivery in the forthcoming RedFlint™
experience center which will open in October 2016 in downtown Las
Vegas.
The University joined other award winners at the Enterprise
Learning! Conference (ELC) in June at the Anaheim Convention Center
in Anaheim, Calif. Dennis Bonilla, executive dean, University of
Phoenix College of Information Systems and Technology, and Ruth
Veloria, executive dean, University of Phoenix School of Business,
attended the conference to accept the award on behalf of the
University.
“We live in an era of rapid technological advancement and
University of Phoenix understands that people and businesses must
continuously innovate in order to succeed and remain relevant. The
University receiving the Elearning! 100 Award for innovation and
being recognized as one of the top 100 learning organizations of
2016 validates our commitment to success in innovation and
reinforces our mission to prepare tech-savvy, industrious and
innovative professionals,” Bonilla said. “To be at the forefront of
innovation and be recognized as a leader, that is our mission. We
will never stop striving to be on the cutting edge in the education
sector.”
University of Phoenix recently announced the upcoming launch of
the RedFlint™ experience center that will provide individuals,
startups and established businesses with access to the latest
technology and business ideas, as well as with an experiential,
hands-on learning environment to aid innovation. At the RedFlint
center, the University will study innovation, identify education
gaps and test and incubate ideas under the three main concepts:
educate, incubate and accelerate. The University is also a sponsor
of the Las Vegas Hospitality and Gaming Accelerator program offered
by Iron Yard Ventures, which will have space at the center. Iron
Yard Ventures has spurred investment in 59 startups in the last
four years and those companies have gone on to create hundreds of
jobs and raise more than $70 million in follow-on funding.
“Innovation is ingrained in the DNA of University of Phoenix,
and the launching of the RedFlint™ experience center reflects this
commitment,” Veloria said. “To be recognized as one of the top 100
leaders in innovation is a powerful statement that University of
Phoenix created a concept that is relevant and has the ability to
make a significant impact on the people and businesses of Las
Vegas.”
