Rising Star Award

Initially presented in 2011, the Rising Star Award is designed to identify and nurture new individuals to the profession and RMACAC. Colleagues with less than five years of admission experience, and who have already made contributions to our organization, its members and the populations we serve, are deserving of this honor. It is our hope that award recipients will be encouraged to continue their professional development through their involvement in RMACAC and NACAC. Winners of this regional award will receive consideration for the national Rising Star Award from NACAC.

High Five Award

Presented for the first time in 2013 at our Annual Conference, the High Five Award recognizes an individual, CBO, or non-profit organization for their ongoing dedication to supporting the RMACAC mission, making an outstanding impact on our membership through a body of work or some significant single contribution.

Roger H. Campbell Award

This award was presented for the first time in 2000 and honors individuals who have made significant contributions to RMACAC and our profession through their many years of service. This award recognizes those who have met the highest standards of commitment to our college admission profession. The Roger H. Campbell Award is the highest tribute RMACAC can give to recognize individuals who exemplify excellence and dedication to serving the needs of students in the transition from high school to college.
