"Graduate Student Day is the time that the university celebrates the achievements of its graduate students, the future leaders in education, research, business ana inaustry, engineering, tne arts, government, the sciences, health and medicine," Marcia Welsh, dean of the Graduate School, said. "It is important to honor their hard work in their academic pursuits, as well as the contributions that they have made to the university community," she said. USC President John M. Palms joined the university's deans and faculty members to present more than 70 awards to graduate students. USC named Reina Pennington of Ridgeway the Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant.

"This is a great honor. It is particularly meaningful to know that I have had an impact on student's lives. That's what teaching is all about," Pennington said. She taught History 101 this year. "History 101 is a required class, and students don't always come in expecting to enjoy it," Pennington said.
