Current Award Winners Past Award Winners Awards Timeline

At the 1977 ACPA Convention in Denver, Colorado, The Commission for Housing and Residential Life decided to become active in recognizing outstanding achievements in residence life work. In a field where praise is often minimal, this activity has met an important need. Since that time, the Commission has presented awards to recognize excellence and outstanding contributions in the field of student housing and residence life. These include:

The Outstanding Innovation Award: for a university or department who designed, implemented, and evaluated an outstanding innovation.  

The Outstanding Use of Technology: presented to individual or institution who designed, implemented, and evaluated an outstanding method of using technology.

The Outstanding Graduate Student Staff Member: presented to anoutstanding full-time graduate student employed in a paraprofessional staff position.

The Outstanding Research Award: presented to an individual who has completed an outstanding research project of educational and intrinsic value to the student housing practitioner.

The Outstanding Undergraduate Student Staff Member Award: presented to an outstanding undergraduate student employed in a paraprofessional staff position

The Outstanding New Professional in Residence Life: presented to an individual in the first three years of professional employment who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to her/his campus and/or the housing profession

The Outstanding Experienced Professional Award: presented to an individual with 4 or more years of professional employment who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to her/his campus and/or the housing profession. 

The Excellence in Service Award: presented to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to her/his campus and/or the housing profession and is not eligible for any of the other awards; therefore, the nominee cannot be a student or professional staff member.
