On behalf of President Kim and myself, I am thrilled to honor this year’s exceptional members of our faculty with University and Distinguished professorships, USC’s highest academic honors. These distinctions are awarded annually to select outstanding faculty who have brought great distinction and honor to our university through their work. Their research enlightens and enriches collective understandings outside of USC and contributes to the advancement of society.
