This year, there were five winners across three categories, each with a substantial cash prize to support and expand their innovative work. Emsi offers a hearty congratulations to the winner, finalists with distinction, and this year’s rising star for their outstanding contributions to student success!

Emsi is honored to have worked with all five winners in recent years through a combination of providing labor market analytics, career exploration tools, and reports to quantify the institution’s economic impact on their community. With the top prize this year going to San Antonio College of the Alamo Colleges District, six of the past eight Aspen prize winners have been Emsi clients! We’re proud to support these institutions as they make data-driven decisions that foster student success.
