Mission Integration Awards
As the voice for student affairs professionals in Catholic higher education, ASACCU annually presents the Best Practices in Mission Integration awards to highlight and recognize best practices in various student affairs areas. The programs that are recognized each year intentionally articulate Catholic identity as an integral part of a student affairs program. Through the mutual sharing of ideas and their practical applications, ASACCU hopes to foster dialogue to deepen our members’ understanding of the interplay between Catholic identity and the ever-changing complexity of contemporary circumstances and student experiences on our campuses.
The categories for the Mission Integration Awards submissions are:
- Dean of Students, Residence Life, Health and Wellness and related
- Student Activities, Leadership, Orientation and related
- Diversity, Inclusion, and related
- Integration of the Principles of Good Practice, any field
Programs submitted for consideration should be original to your campus. Programs that are developed based on common curriculum and objectives, especially as developed by outside vendors or companies, will not be considered. Each individual submission should be made in only one category.
Submit a 2026 Mission Integration Awards Nominations by February 28, 2026.
By recognizing certain practices or programs as excellent, we issue a challenge to student affairs professionals at Catholic institutions to provide exemplary service to our students. We hope you accept this invitation and submit your good work as a best practice of Catholic student affairs. We would encourage practitioners who have submitted projects in the past and were not selected to reapply as many of the winning selections were separated from other submissions by a fraction of a point.
