The Copping Award is named in honor of Dr. Allen A. Copping, who served as Louisiana State University Medical Center Chancellor and then President of Louisiana State University. Dr. Copping established this award to recognize faculty who are excellent teachers, have demonstrated a life-long quest for discovery, and inspire their students. Students nominate the recipient of this award. A committee of faculty and students selects the recipient of the award, which is presented at the School of Allied Health Professions pre-commencement ceremony each May.

Congratulations to Megan Majoue, AUD, CCC-A, Communication Disorders. The 2023 recipient of the Allen A. Copping Excellence in Teaching Award.
