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.
