Dean Aoun delivers State of the College address
On Dec. 10, 2002, USC College Dean Joseph Aoun talked about how the College is preparing to train the next generation of top-notch scholars in the annual State of the College address. “Our goal is to be—by the end of this decade—one of the top colleges in any private research university,” he told an audience of more than 150 USC faculty members. One of the areas Aoun stressed was the need to increase focus on interdisciplinary research. “New knowledge is arising unpredictably from the intersections of disciplines,” he said, referring to the human genome project, and disciplines such as computational biology and visual culture.
