Special USC Alumni Tribute to President and Mrs. Sample
Posted by: | Comments
Dear Fellow Trojan,
We are pleased to share with you a special alumni tribute to retiring USC President Steven B. Sample and First Lady Kathryn Sample, commemorating their 19 years of remarkable service to the university. This four-minute tribute premiered at the 77th Annual USC Alumni Awards and was warmly received by more than 500 alumni and friends in attendance.
One of Dr. Sample’s greatest passions was the USC Renaissance Scholars Program, which he launched in 2000. This incredible program encourages students to become “broad and versatile thinkers” by working “deeply and productively” in widely disparate disciplines. Members of the Trojan Family now have an opportunity to ensure that the Samples’ extraordinary legacy lives on at USC by supporting the Steven and Kathryn Sample Renaissance Scholars Endowment. To make a gift, please click here.
View the Sample tribute now.
Thank you and Fight On!

Special Thanks and OC Performance by Thornton School of Music Student
Posted by: | CommentsMessage: An invitation to members of South Orange County Alumni, whose scholarship support has been invaluable to me.
Please come see what your support has nurtured at a May 14 performance at 8 p.m. in Laguna Beach’s Neighborhood Congregational Church, 285 St. Ann’s Drive. I’ll be performing with 10 other Thornton School of Music musicians, playing original compositions and arrangements. I’ve entitled the concert Green Blues: A Night of Modern Jazz, but it could also be called Tunes for Tuition, too. It’s a benefit to help me defray tuition costs for my final semester, studying music in Brazil.
I hope to see some of the Trojan family in the audience.
