Awards to hone By Tammy Lane Awards will be given to the faculty member and the graduate teaching assistant who best exemplify excellence in undergraduate teaching, according to a selection committee member. Elbert Jones, a former winner and a member of the 1983-84 committee, said the AMOCO Foundation provides $1,000 for each recipient. Jones said winning the award was an honor, and he was "very exhilarated that the students would recognize me in such a manner." The awards, given since 1966, recognize outstanding teaching performance. Any fulltime faculty member who teaches undergraduate courses or any graduate teaching assistant on the Columbia campus is eligible, according to Jones. USC President James Holderman will announce the winners at the annual spring general faculty meeting, and the awards will be presented at spring commencement ceremonies.
