The NASPA Foundation's Pillar of the Profession Award is designed to honor members of the profession who:

• Are individuals of professional distinction, as defined by donors and supporters;
• Have served in leadership roles in NASPA, either regionally or nationally; and/or
• Are being recognized or remembered by colleagues, friends, students, or student organizations for extraordinary service.

Each year at the annual NASPA Conference, the NASPA Foundation recognizes a series of distinguished individuals who have served as leaders, teachers, and scholars in student affairs and higher education. Each individual is nominated and supported for designation as a Pillar by colleagues, students, friends, or others who find him or her deserving of this honor. In the nominee's name, a gift of $2,000 is made to the Foundation to further research and scholarship in student affairs.
