Each of us can point to a very special person who has had a great influence in our lives. The AAHE Honor A Colleague Project offers a way in which you can give that special person a memento honoring him or her as one of your most respected teachers, most influential professionals, or most inspirational colleagues. For each $25.00 contribution to the AAHE Scholarship Fund, you may specify an individual whom you wish to recognize. A specially designed "Recognition Award", suitable for framing, will be forwarded to that individual acknowledging your contribution and recognizing his or her influence on your professional life. A group or institution may be honored in the same manner.
