AAC&U President’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Education

AAC&U President’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Education recognizes an individual or organization that has provided dedicated service, consistent advocacy, and outstanding leadership to the higher education community nationally or internationally. Honorees have made a meaningful and appreciable contribution to the issues and concerns affecting liberal education.

In recognition of his longstanding service to higher education, Scott Jaschik was selected as the inaugural recipient of the AAC&U President’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Education. The award honors his work as a writer and editor who transitioned higher education news from print to the web.

The award will be presented at the opening plenary session of the 2024 AAC&U Annual Meeting and, during a special session on the award, AAC&U President Lynn Pasquerella will interview Scott about his work, the state of higher education, and the evolution of higher education news.
