Individuals committed to making a difference have made ACUHO-I what it is today. And what it will be tomorrow.

Throughout ACUHO-I’s history, many people have contributed to making our association the authoritative source on collegiate and university housing. Certain individuals, however, have gone above and beyond to ensure the organization is invaluable to our members and the profession at large.

The Foundation supports the recognition of these individuals through annual awards programs including the Parthenon Award and the Foundation of Excellence.

Parthenon Award

The Foundation’s most prestigious award, The Parthenon Award recognizes supreme achievement in the profession, outstanding service, leadership, and contributions to the field of student housing.

To be considered for this award, members must have contributed 10 years of service to the housing, residential life, or affiliated profession and five years of service at the regional or international level of ACUHO-I.

If you know of an individual, living or deceased, who meets the above listed considerations, you may nominate the person for the Parthenon Award. Nominations require a minimum contribution of $2,500 to the ACUHO-I Foundation. Learn how to be a Parthenon Award champion.
