The General Education Committee will resume naming recipients of Graduate Assistant Teaching Awards for contributions to the GE Program during the Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 or Fall 2019 – Spring 2020 academic year. The GE Committee will continue to recognize faculty who taught last year in the GE program, as was done for the year before. This year, we will add awards for graduate assistants, who are contributing in many ways through this challenging time.
Graduate Assistants who served as Teaching Assistants in labs or discussions sections during either of the two prior academic years are eligible to be recognized this spring, unless they have already received this award. If you have a graduate assistant in your academic unit who provided outstanding service to undergraduates in the GE Program, please nominate that person for an award. Up to six recipients may be selected, each of whom will receive an award of $1000.
This is a difficult time to gather materials, so we are asking for a simplified nomination. Please select a single recipient from your academic unit for a letter of nomination, plus any quantitative data you have on their teaching evaluations. If you have a syllabus or sample assignment from their lab or discussion section, please include that as well. All materials should be collected in a single pdf file so they can be shared among members of the selection committee, emailed to gened@usc.edu, by 5 pm on Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.
