The Emeriti Center and Emeriti Center College, both past and present, are constant advocates for retiree benefits, retiree opportunities, and retiree recognition. To this latter goal, in 1995 Emeritus Professor Norman Fertig, a key leader at the Center, and Emeritus Professor Willard Beling, trustee of the Borchard Foundation, established the Honorary Borchard Lectureship to honor Emeriti professors who exemplify a lifetime of scholarly production.
Albert Borchard was a businessman in trucking and real estate who died in an auto accident in 1983. He and his wife, Elaine, were avid supporters of USC, particularly the Keck School of Medicine and the School of Fine Arts. Their foundation, under the trusteeship of Dr. Beling, has been a faithful and long term contributor to the programs of the Emeriti Center and Emeriti Center College, and has committed funding for this lectureship through 2009. We are enriched and indebted to Dr. Beling and the Borchard Foundation for making this honorary lecture possible.
The USC Emeriti Center and the Emeriti Center College are proud to list those who have been honored:
