The ACUMA Awards are an annual awards program which recognises and congratulates excellence in innovation, design, production and implementation of the services and products provided to Australian and New Zealand students by ACUMA member organisations.
The ACUMA Awards are also a showcase of campus service organisation staff skills and talents, without which the higher education landscape, as experienced by higher education students in Australia and New Zealand, would be a vastly less engaging environment.
