Golden Apple Awards 2022
In a year of challenges, these faculty and staff members have made a good impression on students.
The students have spoken. The USC Marshall Golden Apple Awards for 2021-22 have been announced.
Each year graduate and undergraduate students vote on the professors and staff who have had the most impact on them. The Marshall Business Student Government (MBSG), which serves undergraduate students, recognizes outstanding faculty and staff by awarding the Golden Apple Teaching Awards and Golden Compass Staff Awards. Graduate students vote for their awardees directly.
Eleven faculty members and two staffers are among those chosen.
The 2021-22 school year was unique in that campus reopened after nearly 18 months, bringing students, staff, and faculty back together for the first time since March 2020. There were many protocols necessary to prevent COVID outbreaks, but the Marshall community stepped up. The Spring semester began remotely due to the Omicron variant, but soon classes were underway in person.
Undergraduate Golden Apple Awards include:

For teaching in elective classes:

"I am very honored to be recognized with a Golden Apple Award,” said Adel Javanmard, associate professor of data sciences and operations, who teaches the undergraduate core course BUAD311—operations management.
“We are very proud of our Marshall students and feel a great responsibility in training the next generation of leaders, managers, scholars and entrepreneurs. I very much enjoy teaching such a great cohort every year and helping them succeed.”—Adel Javanmard, Assoc. Prof. of Data Sciences and Operations
