  • Annual Address to the USC Faculty, February 13-14, 2013
    Annual Address to the USC Faculty February 13 & 14, 2013 C. L. Max Nikias President This annual address is, for me, an opportunity to enjoy time with longtime colleagues and friends in the professoriate. This year, it is a special opportunity to report to you on the progress being made by this ambitious academic community. For the faculty of USC, this continues to be our moment. It is in times such as these—moments of disruption—in which we see the most promising developments. These are moments of new light, a re-illumination of the human mind and spirit. In the Late Middle Ages, Petrarch ignited one moment of re-illumination, when the first wave of humanists took accumulated wisdom and the classics, and used them to spark a new intellectual encounter, and to brighten our understanding of humanity’s place in the cosmos. Francis Bacon would later fashion modern notions of rigorous, empirical inquiry. In his monumental book the Novum Organum, human inquiry smashed through ancient barriers, opening vast new worlds for exploration. Our own world is opening up, in the 21st century, in no less dramatic ways. Within our academic community, among you, we have those who live in the spirit of Petrarch, in the lineage of Francis Bacon, here now within this latest age of discovery. This is the Age of the Pacific—and yes, this is the century of biology and medicine. In this era, human inquiry is being informed by the extraordinary convergence of Pacific Rim cultures, by the rich blending of a new world into the existing one.

    Abbreviations Acronyms may be used on second reference but try to use “the center,” “the institute” or simply a shortened version of the center or institute’s name if possible. Example: Sandy made a donation to USC Shoah Foundation — The Institute for Visual History and Education. At the institute’s annual gala, she was honored with the Donor of the Year award. Also see entry on “state names.” Academic degrees Academic degrees should be written without periods: BA, MA, MSW, PhD, EdD, PharmD. Do not use “Dr.” before a name, even in a medical context. When denoting an alumnus’ degrees, include only the graduating year for a bachelor’s degree – no BA or BS. Examples: She received her BA from the USC Gould School of Law. Jane Doe MA ’12, PhD ’12 is currently serving as executive director of Alpha Academy. Sally Smith ’13 joined the Peace Corps. For joint degrees, such as the ones at USC Gould School of Law, use a slash between the degrees.

As a result, the net assets on the balance sheet of the university, an Fınance and Chief important measure of resources, increased to $9.3 billion this past year. This 5.6 percent increase in net assets was primarily driven by endowment returns and gifts, which enable Fınancial Officer USC to invest in strategic institutional priorities. Although we expect pressure on future operating results due to continued investment in academic priorities and infrastructure, we continue to focus on cost containment and new sources of revenue. We are also embracing opportunities to be more efficient in responding to potential volatility in economic factors in general, and specifically in the higher education business sector. USC Campaign The success of USC’s fundraising campaign has been broadly reported, but we want to further acknowledge USC’s generous donors. Fundraising at USC continues to focus on endowment and academic priorities, with an emphasis on endowment for scholarships, funding for faculty, facilities and support for the medical enterprise.
