As a higher education community we are called to be "celebrative," where there is rejoicing in what we accomplish and where we can be publicly proud of those accomplishments. Annually, hundreds of individuals are recognized through the ACPA Awards Program for significant achievements and contributions to the higher education community, the student affairs profession and to ACPA, its commissions, state and international divisions and coalitions.
ACPA is pleased to recognize the following 2014 Award winners for their many contributions. Award recipients will be honored at the ACPA 2014 Annual Convention Awards Reception in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, March 30th.
