We all get our start as students in collegiate recreation somewhere; many of us have been fortunate enough to have the path to student success clearly defined by an exceptional NIRSA mentor.

Their encouragement, support, and commitment to excellence have made our educational pursuits exciting and rewarding. The Horace Moody Awards are given to one NIRSA professional member from each of the six NIRSA regions to recognize their contributions to student development.

Honor an outstanding professional who has made significant contributions to your student development by nominating them for a NIRSA Horace Moody Award. Presented each year during the NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo, awards will be conferred on individuals who have made a lasting difference in mentoring students and guiding students in their professional development.

Winners will be announced at the NIRSA Annual Conference’s regional meetings. Additionally, winners will be recognized during the Student Business Meeting. The six award winners will receive an inscribed plaque and be recognized in the NIRSA Know.

 The nomination deadline is Tuesday, November 15, 2016
