Dear Price Alumni,
This March
, we
hosted
a number of
events that brought together our inspiring community
including
When Women Lead
: Breaking Barriers & Building Communities which featured
L.A. County's seven female police chiefs, the Bedrosian Center's
Leading from the West
which highlighted Los Angeles innovators Tara Roth and Roy Choi, and Price Conversations in New York City: Making Cities More Livable through Transit which included a panel with DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. These events
showcased the commitment to policy and community found throughout the USC Price family.
I am also proud to acknowledge several of our USC Price alumni
and friends
who
are being
honored
this spring across campus. USC Trustee and
Price Board of Councilors member, Rick Caruso,
B.S. `80, will receive the Asa V. Call Alumni Achievement Award
and Athenian Society Leadership Council member, Dan Cassidy, B.S. `59,
will receive the Alumni Volunteer Service Award at the USC Alumni Association's 84th Annual Alumni Awards
. Also, Ruben Smith, MPA `79, was honored with the Legacy Award at the USC Latino Alumni Association Gala.
And f
inally, L.A. Supervisor, Mark Ridley-Thomas
, Ph.D. `89, will be awarded with an
honorary degree at the 2017 USC Commencement.
Congratulations to all of our alumni and friends on these important honors from the Trojan Family.
Thank you for your continued engagement with the Price School. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and programs.
