4. USC NEWS (a) Carnegie honors USC President Nikias with Academic Leadership Award 南加大校長獲頒學術領袖獎 
| The Carnegie Corp. of New York honored USC President C. L. Max Nikias today with its Academic Leadership Award. Nikias is the organization’s first awardee in Southern California. The foundation established in 1911 by industrialist Andrew Carnegie bestows the accolade every other year, which comes with a $500,000 grant to further academic initiatives. The award is granted to a select number of university presidents “demonstrating vision and outstanding commitment to excellence and equity fulfilling their | administrative and managerial roles with dedication and creativity.” “The contributions of C. L. Max Nikias, both as provost and president of the University of Southern California, have been phenomenal,” said Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation. “Under his leadership, the quality of the student body and of the faculty continues to reach new heights. Today, USC ranks among the nation’s and indeed the world’s most outstanding private research universities. This award recognizes not only the excellence President Nikias has affected, but also his vision of boosting global engagement and scaling up various community initiatives. What has impressed me as a former provost and president is that he has been able, in a relatively brief period, to establish 77 endowed faculty chairs. We are very proud of USC’s progress under and look to its continued success in the future.” Read More. |
(b) Finding fulfillment at work: Is it love at first sight or a cultivated passion? 從工作中獲得成就感 - 一見鍾情或慢慢培養? 
| USC and University of Michigan scientists find either approach can provide a sense of well-being Employees who have not yet found their “perfect fit” in a career: Take heart. “The good news is that we can change our mindsets or our strategies and be just as effective in the long run at attaining well-being at work,” said Norbert Schwarz, the Provost Professor of Psychology and | Marketing and co-director of the USC Dornsife Mind and Society Center. Two popular theories The researchers explored the two popular theories that one achieves a passion for work either by following one’s heart or by developing a passion for a vocation over time. The series of four studies and a pretest survey involved 98 to 272 subjects — most of whom were in their 30s and 40s. The scientists found that people can agree with both the “fit” and the “develop” theories, but they generally subscribe to one theory more than the other. Regardless of which they believe most, they can achieve an equal sense of fulfillment in their line of work, the researchers found. Read More. |
(c) 135 years old, and still fighting on 恭喜南加大 135 歲生日快樂 
| From a modest start, USC marks its 135th birthday Oct. 6 as one of the nation’s leading research institutions USC — officially founded Oct. 6, 1880, when Los Angeles was little more than a frontier town — first opened its doors to 53 students and 10 teachers. Back then, the “city” still lacked paved streets, electric lights, | telephones and a reliable fire alarm system. Today, USC is home to more than 40,000 students and some 4,000 full-time faculty, and is located in the heart of one of the biggest metropolises in the world. The school’s first building lives on as Widney Alumni House. Read More. |
