HOW ARE RECIPIENTS CELEBRATED?

Awards Booklet

A special awards booklet will list the names, titles, and colleges of all recipients and feature congratulatory ads from NISOD-member colleges. Conference participants will receive the Excellence Awards Booklet during the conference closing ceremony. NISOD-member presidents will be mailed an Excellence Awards Booklet in the summer.

Spotlight Showings

We request that all recipients submit a statement about what excites and inspires them to strive for excellence, as well as what sustains and renews their energy. Along with this statement of philosophy, we request a color digital photo of recipients working one-on-one with a student or small group of students. Details can be found here. Many of the photos and quotes will be used during "spotlight showings" in the ballroom prior to each general session at the NISOD conference as well as at computer kiosks throughout the Convention Center.

Awards Medallions

These specially cast, pewter medallions are hung on burnt-orange grosgrain ribbon and provided to each NISOD Excellence Award recipient at the Excellence Awards Kick-Off held during the conference. Recipients are encouraged to wear their medallion throughout the conference. Medallions and Awards Booklets for those unable to attend will be sent in June to the Excellence Awards contact.

Awards DVD

A highlight of the conference's closing session is the NISOD Excellence Awards DVD. This DVD is a collage of soundbites featuring selected recipients from the current year's honorees. Professionally produced for a first-showing at the conference, this DVD is then sent to the presidents of all NISOD-member colleges.
