This year marked the inaugural edition of the Transact Distinction Awards, presented at the Transact annual Spring Training users’ conference. This year's event was held in San Diego, Calif. in March, and university recipients were presented with their awards and recognized for their achievements on stage.

The Transact Distinction Awards are designed to honor Blackboard university clients that work to elevate the student experience through innovation and excellence using the Transact ecosystem of solutions. Winners are selected by a cross-functional team of Transact experts.

"We value both the relationships we have with our clients and their innovative uses of our technology," says David Marr, CEO of Transact. "We’re proud to recognize our inaugural Distinction Awards winners for their outstanding accomplishments and their tireless commitment to the students they serve."

Each of the awards recognizes winners in two categories: Payments and transactions & credentials.
