Higher Education Network Awards Program

The American College of Healthcare Executives has implemented an awards program to recognize programs participating in the ACHE Higher Education Network who have advanced students to Member or Fellow status and also held innovative activities to develop leadership skills and to promote the benefits of membership in ACHE.

View Past Winners

Here's the program breakdown:

• A total of four awards will be presented annually. The awards will be distributed as indicated below:
1. An award will be presented to the undergraduate program with the greatest number of students who graduated during the designated time period and are Members or Fellows at the end of the designated time period.
2. An award will be presented to the undergraduate program with the greatest percentage of students who graduated during the designated time period and are Members or Fellows at the end of the designated time period.
3. An award will be presented to the graduate program with the greatest number of students who graduated during the designated time period and are Members or Fellows at the end of the designated time period.
4. An award will be presented to the graduate program with the greatest percentage of students who graduated during the designated time period and are Members or Fellows at the end of the designated time period.
• All program directors will be informed annually about ACHE’s Higher Education Network Awards program and will be provided with the guidelines for participation.
• Program directors will be asked to provide ACHE with the names of students who have graduated over the designated period.
• The program will be expected to organize a solicitation program to encourage graduating students to apply for Member or Fellow status, as appropriate.
• Using the list of names received from each of the programs, ACHE will determine the number of graduates who have entered into both Member and Fellow status by the end of the designated time period.
• Using the responses to the application questions about the program’s activities during the academic year, ACHE will evaluate the program’s efforts to promote membership and advancement and leadership development skills.
• Each award-winning program will receive a plaque.
• The plaques will be presented to representatives from the winning programs by ACHE’s Chairman during the Congress on Healthcare Leadership. One faculty representative from each award-winning program will receive an expense-paid trip and tuition waiver for Congress.
• Only one award may be presented to a graduate or undergraduate program in a given year.
• The awards for greatest number will be determined first, effectively removing those particular graduate and undergraduate programs from contention for the award based upon greatest percentage.
• In the unlikely event of a tie, information about the program’s activities during the academic year will be used to determine the award winner.
• Only programs with a minimum of ten members of the graduating class who are Member or Fellow status at the end of the designated time period will be eligible for the award.
• ACHE’s Chairman annually will send a letter of appreciation to all participating program directors. The letter will thank these individuals for their continued support, congratulate them for their recruitment efforts over the past year and encourage them to put forth the same energy and effort over the next year.
