The Residential College Society offers annual awards sponsored by VMDO Architects based on submissions. We offer a diverse range of awards geared toward students, faculty, staff and wider college systems. Awards will be presented at the annual symposium.
RCS welcomes nominations of any person, entity or program associated with residential colleges. The leadership team will make determinations about which awards to grant based on the nominations submitted in a given year.
Eligibility for Awards
The awards are intentionally broad to capture the diversity of individuals, programs, and entities represented across institutions and residential college systems. Consider nominating:
- An exceptional staff member who contributed uniquely to a residential college system
- A faculty member whose research explores the role of residential colleges on student outcomes
- A residential college system that exemplified the mission of integrating academics into students’ lives
- A specific program or initiative, housed within a residential college, that had a major impact at your institution
- An exceptional campus or external partner who facilitated your institution’s commitment to fostering residential education
Nominations
In the nomination, provide a detailed rationale for why the nominee (e.g., individual, program, partnership, or residential college) is deserving of an award. Describe the scope, significance, and impact of their contributions or achievements. Consider highlighting innovation, collaboration, sustainability, leadership, research, and/or outcomes as appropriate. Be specific and provide examples or evidence to support the nomination.
