For her lifetime of outstanding student service, professional leadership and contributions to the field of campus housing across many universities and organizations, University of Wisconsin-Stout Dean of Students Sandi Scott has received the prestigious international Parthenon Society award.
Bestowed by the Association of College and University Housing Officers-International, the Parthenon is the association’s highest honor.
Scott, who is UW-Stout’s Title IX coordinator and a member of the Chancellor’s Cabinet, was nominated for the Parthenon by Chancellor Katherine Frank, Associate Dean of Students Jacqueline Bonneville and Director of University Housing Adam Ludwig. Her nomination was championed by UW-Whitewater’s Executive Director of University Housing Terry Tumbarello.
“Sandi is known throughout the state, region and nation for her commitment to student development and the profession of student affairs. While she has been honored with awards at the state, regional and national level, no honor eclipses the fact that Sandi is recognized as a mentor and friend to many people in the field,” Frank said.
Scott has worked in the field for 38 years, with 31 years supporting students and leading professional teams as a residence hall director, director of Residence Life, assistant director of Housing and director of Housing at three University of Wisconsin campuses, beginning at UW-Whitewater before joining UW-River Falls.
“I’m humbled to have been recognized by ACUHO-I with this award. It has been a privilege and honor to be able to support students and staff as they pursue personal and professional success,” said Scott, who has been with UW-Stout since 2014.
Scott and other 2024 honorees were recognized at ACUHO-I’s Campus Home. LIVE! annual conference and expo in June, in Milwaukee.
