114th Annual Meeting
The ACSA College of Distinguished Professors, Best Paper and Best Project Award recognizing contributions of research, scholarship and creative excellence was instituted in 2020. The Best Paper and Best Project Awards recognizes outstanding peer reviewed research presented at the ACSA Annual Meeting. One award will be given for each submission type from the ACSA Annual Meeting. All peer reviewed content published in ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings will be eligible. Award selections will be based: new and original contributions, thesis clarity, methodology, overall content, and quality of development. Finalists must present nominated paper or project at the annual meeting to be eligible.
The College of Distinguished Professors, founded in 2010, is composed of members of the Associations who are awarded the ACSA/AIA Topaz Medal Laureate and/or the ACSA Distinguished Professor Award. College membership is one of the highest honors the ACSA can bestow upon an educator. All College members may use the title “ACSA Distinguished Professor, DPACSA” in perpetuity.
