Nominations for the 2026 Legacy of Excellence Cohort are now closed. The cohort will be announced in November 2025.
The Goldstone ASCA Foundation launched an initiative to recognize distinguished individuals who have impacted the field of student conduct and higher education. The Legacy of Excellence award annually recognizes a select group of individuals who have left an enduring impact on the profession through significant contributions to the field of student conduct; impactful scholarship and research; and/or leadership within ASCA and other organizations. Legacy recipients are current or former ASJA/ASCA.
Foundation Board members partner with the Legacy’s nominators to raise $1500 in the Legacy’s honor to support the scholarship and strategic priorities of the Goldstone ASCA Foundation. Recipients are honored at the ASCA Annual Conference in February.
During the inaugural year of the Legacy program, the Goldstone ASCA Foundation Board voted to award a posthumous Legacy award to its namesake, Raymond H. Goldstone. Ray was known for his intelligence and generosity, as well as his commitment to ongoing graduate and professional education related to conduct and legal issues. With this in mind, The Foundation Board raised $10,000 in order to endow the cash prize given to the recipient of ASCA’s Dissertation of the Year Award.
