Professor William C. Green

The 2007-08 Golden Apple Award Goes to Professor William C. Green

Dr. William C. Green, Professor of Political Science, was the recipient of the university’s 2007-08 Golden Apple Award for outstanding teaching. The Golden Apple Award was established to recognize CSUSB faculty who consistently maintained a distinctive teaching record. Since the inception of the award program, 13 faculty members have been recognized for exceptional teaching, of which five have been from the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Dr. Green realized that he was an award recipient when on October 18, 2007, President Albert Karnig entered Green’s classroom accompanied by previous Golden Apple winners and university administrators. As students cheered, President Karnig praised Green’s commitment to students. In response to Karnig’s commendation, Dr. Green stated “I’m abashedly humbled and very gratified by this.”

Dr. Green came to CSUSB in September, 1995 after teaching at Boston University and the University of Southern California, where he earned his bachelor’s degree (Russian language and literature), master’s degree (international relations) and doctorate (international relations). In addition to teaching and mentoring students, Dr. Green serves as graduate coordinator for the Political Science department.
