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.
