Faculty Recognition Awards

The Phi Kappa Phi All-University Honor Society if pleased to announce the twenty-third annual Phi Kappa Phi Faculty Recognition Program.  The competition and exhibition are in conjunction with the annual 2005 Academic Honors Convocation. Four awards of $1,000 will be presented to USC faculty for works created and completed at USC.  Faculty affiliated with degree-granting programs who are not full-time, tenure-track faculty members are also eligible for award consideration.  These awards are chosen by a faculty committee for works making major contributions to research, knowledge, and creativity.

Both scholarly and creative works in any of the three categories listed below may be submitted for consideration; awards, however, may not necessarily be made in all categories.  For all categories, where works are co-authored or co-produced, the submission should include a clear statement detailing the contribution of the USC faculty member(s).  Inclusion of representative published reviews of nominated work is encouraged.  Resubmission of eligible works is welcome. Only one submission per applicant may be entered annually.

1.  Books published within the last three calendar years (2002-2004).

2.  Reprint collections that represent a significant body of original work with a coherent theme published within the last three calendar years (2002-2004).  The collection of reprints should be accompanied by a written piece (500-1,000 words) that summarizes the findings described in the reprints, demonstrates how they form a coherent body of work, and describes their impact on the field.

3. A creative arts exhibition to recognize achievements of faculty in disciplines where the form of "publication" is through any of a variety of creative endeavors rather than scholarly books.  These materials, which might include the originals when they are a set of photographs, or descriptive writing and photographs when they include sculptures or buildings, or tape recordings of original music, should generally not take up more space than is contained in a large manila envelope.

Faculty are encouraged to submit books, monographs, and creative endeavors to Phi Kappa Phi, Student Union Room 202, MC 0890.  This year’s deadline has been extended from October 15th to November 5th 2004. However, review of submissions will commence prior to the deadline. 

Award winners will be honored at the 2005 Academic Honors Convocation on March 10, 2005.  The winning entries will be displayed at that time. If you have questions, please contact:
