Previous Year’s Honorees
The Recognition Program was established in 2019 by the University Club Board of Councilors to recognize the contributions made to the life of the University. It reflects the University Club’s vision, which states, in part, “to cultivate relationships across the diverse university Campus community” to enhance University life.
The Amy King Dundon-Berchtold University Club of USC is proud to honor the following faculty honorees for our 2025 Staff & Faculty Recognition Program. The program recognizes the contributions made to the life of the University. The focus for this academic year is to honor those who demonstrated the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ) in cultivating supportive, collaborative, and mission-driven environments.
