NIRSA Annual Service Award
Service is a key value of our Association. Without the continued, outstanding contributions of our NIRSA colleagues, collegiate recreation wouldn’t be the driving force that it is on campuses today. We all know members who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their NIRSA volunteer service; recognize the value of their contributions by nominating them for a NIRSA Annual Service Award. Nominations are due by September 15.
Honor Award
The Honor Award is the highest honor our Association bestows. It recognizes and celebrates a member for outstanding achievements in our profession and exemplary service to our Association. Please consider nominating a deserving colleague for the NIRSA Honor Award by November 3.

Has your campus recently completed a new facility? Or has your facility recently undergone significant renovation? Consider applying for an Outstanding Sports Facilities Award! Applications are due by November 3.
Creative Excellence Award
Does your department create fun and effective promotional materials?
