Senator Boxer Speaks at USC Casden Institute Event

In April, California’s U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer addressed a crowd of over 500 USC students, alumni, faculty and friends as part of the Carmen and Louis Warschaw Distinguished Lecture Series at the USC Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life. Boxer, a senator since 1993, spoke about her Jewish upbringing, recent travel to Iraq and her work on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She inspired students in the audience to “go into public service in a way that is honest and authentic,” and told them to “look around for the issues that motivate you... it’s about your country and your future.”
