L. Max Nikias’s tenure as the eleventh president of the university. Nikias, who had been the university’s chief academic officer since 2005, presided over the grand opening of the Tutor Campus Center as one of his first ceremonial duties as president. He invoked the words of Winston Churchill, who said “We shape our buildings, and afterward our buildings shape us,” adding: “This building reflects our Trojan values. It gives voice to our greatest aspirations.” Throughout his career at USC, Nikias has paid particular attention to creating a dynamic, well-rounded intellectual environment for students.

  • USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2015
    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2015 December Wednesday, December 23, 2015 CBS News featured research presented by John Platt of USC Dornsife College to the American Geophysical Union that may explain mysterious fault lines. Platt said when two faults collide, they may merge like a zipper, instead of breaking past one another. "It may solve some long-standing and intractable problems concerning the timing and displacement on faults," he said. EdTech wrote about a $2.7 million U.S. Department of Education grant for a digital game project by Daphna Oyserman, Dean’s Professor of Psychology and professor of psychology, education and communication. Oyserman will work with the nonprofit McREL, game developer Filament Games, and the South Centeral Colorado Board of Cooperative Education Services to build and test the game based on Oyserman's "identity-based motivation" for teens. The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed by Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Sen. Lindsey Graham's decision to end his presidential campaign. Tuesday, December 22, 2015 The Nation highlighted research by Manuel Pastor, Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change and professor of sociology and American studies and ethnicity, and colleagues on the economic impact of Prop. 13 in California. If Prop. 13 was reformed so that commercial and industrial properties were taxed at market rate, the state could generate between $8.2-10.2 billion. Pastor noted that Prop. 13 affects younger Californians - who are predominantly non-white - more than older, more established residents. Daily Mail featured research by Margaret Gatz, professor of psychology, gerontology and preventive medicine, and Andrew Petkus, a postdoctoral researcher in psychology, along with colleagues finding that long-term anxiety can increase the risk for dementia.

  • Rod Dedeaux ˨ the Architect of Usc Baseball R Rod
    RODRRODOD DEDEAUXDDEDEAUXEDEAUX ˨˨ THETTHEHE ARCHITECTAARCHITECTRCHITECT OOFOFF UUSCUSCSC BBASEBALLBASEBALLASEBALL On January 5, 2006, the USC baseball program suff ered the loss of Rod Dedeaux, one of the greatest college coaches ever, who passed away at the age of 91. Not only was Dedeaux the main architect for the success of the USC baseball program, but also one of the great ambassadors for college baseball and amateur baseball in international competition. In his 45-year tenure at USC (1942-86), Dedeaux led the Trojans to 11 national championships and 28 conference titles. He posted an overall record of 1,332-571-11 for a superb .699 winning percentage. At his retirement, he had won more games than any other college baseball coach (he currently ranks seventh among Division I coaches). His teams from 1970-74 won fi ve straight NCAA championships, a record that may never be broken. No other school has won more than two in a row. Two personal honors for Dedeaux, which are quite fi tting considering his accomplishments, came in 1999 when he was named “Coach of the Century” by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. As part of the 50th anniversary of the College World Series in 1996, Dedeaux was named the head coach of the All-Time CWS team by a panel of former World Series coaches, media and college baseball offi cials. In 1999, he was presented with keys to the city of Omaha (home to the College World Series). Dedeaux was named Coach of the Year six times by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1970.

From the cell to the pixel, explore how we understand ourselves in the modern world. CONTRIBUTOR VIET THANH NGUYEN Associate Professor of English and American Studies and Ethnicity Viet Thanh Nguyen’s 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction puts him in the illustrious company of such doyens of American literature as John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Saul Bellow and Toni Morrison — all previous recipients. Nguyen won for his first novel, The Sympathizer (Grove Press, 2015), which explores the Vietnam War from multiple perspectives through the lens of his conflicted protagonist, an American-educated spy for the Viet Cong. “I went into this novel wanting to write without compromise, without worry- ing about what other people would think. The novel is meant to be provocative and critical of all sides in- volved in this war, so there is something here for ev- eryone to dislike,” Nguyen said. “It’s also meant to be as honest, truthful and painful a novel as I could write, and there was no way I could do that if I had to worry about what an audi- ence would think.” Nguyen said winning the Pulitzer felt like a victory. “I think this award marks the necessity in American literature for paying atten- tion to diverse voices that will illuminate American his- tory in important and chal- lenging ways for American audiences.” Nguyen hopes readers reflect on the idea that nurturing a single-sided viewpoint is what draws us into conflict and war.

  • Here Discovery Emily Cavalcanti Resides
    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF USC DANA AND DAVID DORNSIFE COLLEGE OF LETTERS, ARTS AND SCIENCES SPRING/ SUMMER 2015 MAGAZINE The Frontiers Issue POSSIBILITY TRAVERSING Our pioneering scholars link the past and present to a better future. 2 CONTRIBUTOR JUST’N THYMES ’16 Sociology Major and Trojans Track and Field Sprinter All-American sprinter Just’N Thymes attacks his studies as if each exam is a track meet. “I know that if I study hard, just like if I train hard, I will get the results I want,” he said. “It’s simple.” Thymes, who trans- ferred to USC Dornsife in September from Riverside City College, commented that USC had always been his “dream school” both for athletics and academics. He majors in sociology be- cause he enjoys analyzing society’s evolution. “I’m taking an elective anthropology course called ‘Cross-Cultural Research on Urban Gangs,’ ” Thymes said. “It’s interesting to learn the mindsets of gang members and explore why they do what they do.” Thymes’ unique name stands out on the Trojans’ roster almost as much as his impressive results. “I was born just before the Northridge earthquake hit in 1994,” Thymes said. “So my mom chose to spell my name ‘Just’N.’ It is actu- ally written on my birth certificate.” PHOTOS BY PETER ZHAOYU ZHOU Crossing the Line I imagine frontiers as the demarcations between what we know and what we don’t ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR COMMUNICATION know — the line between the familiar and the thrilling space where discovery Emily Cavalcanti resides. How we transition between the known and unknown is one of the joys of DIRECTOR OF PRODUCTION AND ART DIRECTOR being a scholar.
