Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration

Held during NISOD’s annual conference, Excellence Awards recipients are recognized and honored during the Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Sunday, May 25, 2025, at the Austin JW Marriott. 

Excellence Awards recipients walk across the stage to receive their medallions. This enthusiastic and inspiring annual event brings together more than 1,000 individuals. Join the fun as we celebrate the extraordinary work of faculty, administrators, and staff whose service to their students, colleagues, and community deserve our special recognition.

Attending the Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration

Each 2025 recipient receives a complimentary ticket. To claim your ticket, log into your recipient portal. Instructions for logging into your portal are included in your congratulatory letter.

Guest tickets can be purchased during the conference registration process. If you are only attending the Excellence Awards Celebration and not the conference, you can purchase guest tickets on learn.nisod.org.

The complimentary ticket and guest tickets must be reserved/purchased by May 9. We must confirm numbers with the hotel, so tickets will not be available after this date.
