    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF USC DANA AND DAVID DORNSIFE COLLEGE OF LETTERS, ARTS AND SCIENCES SPRING ! SUMMER "#$% MAGAZINE !e Community Issue BUILDINGPEOPLE USC Dornsife’s impact begins in Los Angeles and stretches around the globe. 2 CONTRIBUTOR ARIEH WARSHEL Nobel Laureate and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry During a white-tie ceremony in Stockholm, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented USC Dornsife’s Arieh Warshel and two colleagues with the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Royal Swedish Acad- emy of Sciences awarded the prize to Warshel, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, along with Michael Levitt of Stanford University and Martin Karplus of the Université de Strasbourg in France and Harvard University, for the development of multiscale models for complex chemi- cal systems. Warshel, Karplus and Levitt developed methods to model chemical reac- tions using computer simu- lations — a cornerstone of modern chemistry. With the Swedish royal family on the right side of the stage at the Stockholm Concert Hall and the newly minted Nobel laureates on the left, Carl-Henrik Heldin, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Nobel Founda- tion, illuminated the history of the awards and the laure- ates’ visionary work. Each laureate received a medal, a diploma and a document confirming the Nobel Prize amount. Warshel became the fourth Nobel laureate at USC, joining George Olah and Daniel McFadden, both of USC Dornsife, and Mur- ray Gell-Mann of the Keck School of Medicine of USC.

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2012

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2012 December Friday, December 21, 2012 OC Weekly highlighted “Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the Mexican-American Middle Class” by Jody Agius Vallejo of sociology. Thursday, December 20, 2012 Los Angeles Times quoted Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Gov. Jerry Brown’s high marks for effectiveness. Los Angeles Times quoted Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about how the Los Angeles mayoral candidates need to differentiate themselves. Tuesday, December 18, 2012 Reel Urban News interviewed Ange-Marie Hancock of political science and gender studies about her report on African American philanthropy in Los Angeles. December 15 to 17, 2012 The Chronicle of Higher Education featured Scott Fraser, USC Provost Professor of Biological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering and director of science initiatives. Fraser said that USC’s interdisciplinary nature is what attracted him to move his research to the university from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Fraser added that USC Dornsife College Dean Steve A. Kay, also recently recruited to the university, likes to explore the limits of his field. Fraser is bringing roughly two dozen people with him from Caltech, three or four of whom will take lab leadership positions at USC. The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a second story. KCET-TV’s “Departures” covered an induction ceremony for Los Angeles’ first poet laureate, chosen in part by Dana Gioia, Judge Widney Professor of Poetry and Public Culture at USC. CBC News (Canada) featured “Planet Without Apes,” a new book by Craig Stanford of biological sciences, co-director of the Jane Goodall Research Center at USC, about possible extinction of the great apes and the biological knowledge that would die with them.

Reiff, Chair “Searching for a Stake: The Scope of Jewish Politics in Los Angeles from Watts to Rodney King, 1965-1992” traces the intensification of local Jewish political activity as well as the factors that led to Jewish disengagement from local political and civic affairs. It does so by considering Jewish politics within the context of metropolitan social structures, localized ethno-racial hierarchies, and spatial scales. An insidious sense of defeat following concerted efforts to mesh together distinct ethnic concerns with broader civic ones, coupled with a heightened interest in seemingly remote issues, pulled Jews away from the local sphere. Herein lies one of the great ironies of late twentieth century Jewish political life in Los Angeles and beyond: as the American Jewish community enhanced their political clout on the national and international level, they sensed little to gain by participating in local politics.
