<p>My S1 is studying abroad this semester and he just received: Your Invitation to a Celebrate a Historic USC Event. No details, but a cool email with the USC seal and some rsvp info.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what President Max Nikias is about to announce?</p>
<p>Was there a date, time and place mentioned on the e-mail?</p>
<p>March 23, during the day. Picnic to follow. What is it? Nice gold invitation. Husband asked if it was gold because they want lots of money?</p>
<p>I tried goggling and then came here.</p>
<p>That is intriguing. My guess is major donation.</p>
<p>probably a new fundraising campaign by nikias lol</p>
<p>It’s a major donation. USC Alumnus David Dornsife is donating $200 Million. USC will rename the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences after he and his wife.</p>
