These awards demonstrate the Association's commitment to principles of good professional practice by recognizing and rewarding:

extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of individuals and member institutions identified through a peer nomination and selection process, and
award winners who demonstrate high standards of professional practice and/or personal achievement.

The Association Awards Program is conducted by UCEA's Awards and Honors Committee, and includes recognition of both individual and institutional achievement on an Association-wide basis. The Frandson Award for Literature in the Field of Continuing Higher Education encourages submissions of books published during 2006 that are important to the theory or practice of continuing higher education in American colleges and universities."
