The nominations process for the 2026 Parthenon Awards is now open. The Parthenon Award is the highest honor bestowed by the ACUHO-I Foundation on campus housing professionals. It recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact on the campus housing profession and helped build a foundation for future generations.

Nominations are due by Friday, September 19.

Nominate

Champions nominate candidates for the Parthenon Society each year. To be considered for this award, candidates 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 selected, the champion agrees to lead a fundraising process to collect $5,000 on behalf of the nominee. 

The reveal of each year’s recipients during Campus Home. LIVE! is always an exciting and emotional moment. The surprised reaction of those honored, combined with the celebration of their friends, families, and colleagues, creates a conference highlight you won’t soon forget.

2025 Parthenon Society

These awards are one of the greatest honors a campus housing professional can receive, as champions nominate candidates and then solicit donations to recognize a career filled with contributions.
