Awards
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.
