Awards

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 our awards program for significant achievements within and contributions to the higher education community, the student affairs profession and to ACPA, its commissions, state divisions and standing committees.

Publications

Continuing professional development is critical in education, and ACPA members get the best available information, research and resources in ACPA's publications. As an ACPA member, you receive discounts on publications. ACPA publications reach into the higher education community through distribution to faculty, administrators, and institutional libraries. This means ACPA publications are leading the way with disseminating knowledge about college student learning that takes place in all areas across campus.
