1. Michael J. Mungo Distinguished Professor of the Year Award (USC’s most prestigious award)
This award is given annually to an outstanding teacher in undergraduate courses. A selection committee composed of undergraduates and former winners of the award evaluates the nominations and determines the list of finalists. Members of the selection committee visit the finalists’ classes, interview the finalists and the finalists’ colleagues, and poll the students in the finalists’ classes. The winner receives a $10,000 prize and certificate of recognition, and the winner’s name is engraved on a permanent plaque housed on the main floor of the Thomas Cooper Library. Nominations are accepted in fall and spring semesters until February 7, 2014.
