L. Max Nikias’ inauguration as USC’s 11th president in October 2010. A member of the Trojan Family since 1991, Nikias has served the university as a professor, national research centers director, dean and provost. ¶ In his first year as president, he brought vitality and new vision to the office, raising an unprecedented $1 billion in gifts. These transformative contributions included $200 million from Dana and David Dornsife to name USC’s College of Letters, Arts and Sciences — the single largest donation in the university’s history; $150 million from the W. M. Keck Foundation for medicine; and $110 million from Julie and John Mork for student scholarships. ¶ With support from a galvanized Trojan Family, the university dedicated the Eli and Edythe Broad CIRM Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC on the Health Sciences campus in October and broke ground for the Roger and Michele Dedeaux Engemann Student Health Center on the University Park campus in April. The physical transformation continues with construction of a state-of-the-art athletics complex and other buildings on the University Park campus, as well as a plan to beautify and enhance facilities for education, patient care and research on the Health Sciences campus. ¶ As tangible signs of USC’s continued ascent among the academic elite, the university recruited stellar new faculty, including two more Nobel laureates, and established faculty members were recognized for their scholarly work with prestigious awards and election to eminent honorary societies. ¶ Building on the strengths of the university’s humanities programs, the new Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholars Program in the Humanities attracted an accomplished cohort of early-career researchers who will receive fellowships as well as faculty mentoring and research support. ¶ In February, Nikias led a delegation to India, where he met with key Indian partners in higher education, business and government, bolstering USC’s commitment to being a truly global institution. ¶ Closer to home, USC expanded its program of community engagement by attracting the country’s largest literary festival, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, to campus in late April. For two days, more than 400 authors provided a nonstop schedule of readings, book signings, literary discussions, writing workshops, storytelling circles, music and comedy performances, and more. ¶ Two weeks later, Nikias presided over his first Commencement ceremony as president. At the start of his own journey as USC’s leader, he stood before 40,000 graduates, parents, family members and friends as a living symbol of new beginnings. “To be a Trojan is to be an adventurer,” he told the class of 2011, which included his two daughters. “The Trojans always seize destiny.” 125568_Text_r1.indd 3 12/8/11 1:26 AM 125568_Text_r1.indd 4 12/8/11 1:27 AM University of Southern California 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT / 5 Year in Review FY 2010-2011 associated with the Keck School $25,000 and $100,000, and at In addition to bringing fresh of Medicine of USC, as well the level of $25,000 and below, ideas and voices to ongoing In his first year, USC president C.
