With its inception in 2005, the
Catherine Hershey Awards are national awards specifically for the residential
education field. Administered by CORE, the Coalition for Residential
Excellence, the awards are sponsored by the Milton Hershey School. Judges
are individuals from the residential field who rank all submitted nominations
with personal and program information removed.
Announcement to the award winner
will be coordinated between CORE and the nominator. Following notification to
the award winner, a letter will be sent providing details of the award
presentation which will be held at the CORE National Conference, October 6-9,
2024. The conference is being held at Kamehameha Schools Kapalāma, our

responsibility of the award winner and/or their nominator. All nominees will be
notified and listed in the awards program.
