Dear USC Faculty and Staff,
.
On behalf of the 2020 Student Recognition Committee, we invite you to nominate undergraduate, graduate and professional students whose dedication and notable contributions have enriched the quality of campus life and in the local, national and international community.
We are asking your support to identify and nominate outstanding students deserving of this special recognition. To be eligible, nominees must be scheduled for graduation in either May 2020 or August 2020. Recent graduates from December 2019 are also eligible. Faculty and staff may nominate as many students as they deem worthy of consideration; however, not all nominees will receive a Student Recognition award.
By honoring these students, USC continues to celebrate the values of leadership, service and engagement. Nominated students may be eligible to receive one of the following awards:
Undergraduate Students:
• The Order of the Torch: Awarded to outstanding undergraduate students whose dedication to leadership and community service go beyond that of their peers.
• The Order of Troy: Awarded to graduating undergraduate students whose leadership, in conjunction with academic excellence, has provided significant value to the USC community.
• The Order of the Laurel and the Palm: Awarded to less than 1% of graduating undergraduate students who have distinguished themselves from their peers in the fields of leadership, scholarship, and service both on and off campus.
Graduate/Professional Students:
• The Order of the Torch: Awarded to outstanding graduate students whose dedication to leadership and community service go beyond that of their peers.
• The Order of Areté: Awarded to graduating graduate students who have demonstrated significant depth and scope of responsibility in leadership roles benefiting their peers and their broader communities.
The nomination and selection process is as follows:
• Nominations are available online starting Feb. 21, 2020 at http://studentrecognition.usc.edu/ and close on Friday, March 6, 2020 (Only complete nominations will be considered.)
• Faculty and staff nominators must provide all information about each nominee’s involvement and justify their excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service.
• Nominators are responsible for the completion of nomination forms for students,which they nominate.
Student nominees will not be involved in the selection process.
• At least three members from the Student Recognition Review Committee will review completed nominations.
• The committee will select based on academic achievement, leadership, and service including those who have enhanced their academics with a variety of co-curricular activities (including paid positions) and have positively contributed to USC.
• The committee will notify award recipients and their nominators via email to attend the USC Student Recognition Ceremony taking place on Thursday, May 14, 2020 at Bovard Auditorium at 1 p.m.
More information about the awards are located on the Student Recognition Awards.
