The Emeriti Center Colloquia strive to bring to light important issues at the university and in the world around us. Current and retired faculty speak on their area of expertise, sharing their unique knowledge with our retirees. From gene therapy to leadership to phototonics, the topics vary as widely as the intellectual community can imagine.
Previous speakers and topics include:
2002
Barbara J. Solomon
Vice Provost for Faculty Diversity and
Research Professor in the School of Social Work
"The Right of the Individual Versus the Right of the Collective:
A View from the Research University"
Barbara Solomon was honored at the Emeriti College seventeenth colloquium March 21, 2002. Her presentation was very stimulating and informative. She also shared her unique first impressions of USC and some of her career highlights with a very receptive audience. Her perspectives were well received, and those in attendance enjoyed a lively discussion. Following the colloquium, Emeriti Center retirees as well as active staff and faculty from the university enjoyed a beautiful reception, hosted by the School of Social Work, in the Gerontology lobby.
