Phoenix, AZ – May 14, 2018 – Coastal Carolina University’s CINO card received the 2018 NACCU Best Card Design Award during the 25th Annual NACCU Conference in Reno on April 25, 2018. Scott Gallimore accepted the award from ColorID’s Danny Smith.
​
The NACCU Best Card Design Award, sponsored by ColorID, is presented to the institution who is first selected as one of five finalists by the Awards Committee based on a grading matrix, then receives the most votes from NACCU members prior to and during the NACCU Annual Conference. 

The CINO card was redesigned four years ago, then updated in Summer 2017 to include an expiration date. The purpose of the initial redesign was to update the card’s graphics to make it coherent with the university’s branding.

NACCU congratulates Coastal Carolina University as the recipient of the 2018 NACCU Best Card Design Award.

Navigating the Identity Roadmap with ColorID
CR80News releases Part 3 of of the Campus Identity Roadmap Series that includes insights from Tim Nyblom Director of Higher Education, and Mark Degan Director of Corporate Marketing.

Making decisions within the confines of a vacuum is a dangerous practice, but we’ve all done it. It’s the reason why the phrase “There’s no such thing as a stupid question,” exists.
​
When it comes to a campus identity environment, navigating decisions regarding credential technology, expensive reader hardware, mobile, biometrics, and whatever comes next, can be tricky. And it shouldn’t be done in the proverbial vacuum.

In this, the third installment of a series detailing ColorID’s Identity Roadmap, we explore the reasons that a university should leverage industry expertise when mapping out its campus identity future....

ColorID supplied Iris cameras to Georgia Southern University for their campus’ state-of-the-art Recreation Activity Center. The expansion will deploy an integrated access solution so only members can enter the facility.
