Engineering a Better World for All Humanity

Celebrating Two Decades of the Viterbi Era: Innovation, Impact, and Achievement

For 20 years, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering has expanded the boundaries of what is possible. Since the school’s transformative naming and throughout two

decades of visionary leadership under Dean Yannis C. Yortsos, we have advanced breakthrough research, transformed engineering education, and created opportunities for students to make a meaningful impact worldwide.

From record-setting achievements in the Rocket Propulsion Lab to life-changing medical innovations and interdisciplinary research breakthroughs, USC Viterbi continues to shape industries, strengthen communities, and expand opportunities for future engineers.

These milestones are made possible by the talent of our students and faculty and by the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends who believe in engineering’s power to improve lives.

As we mark 20 years of extraordinary growth and progress, we invite you to celebrate this milestone and help propel the next era of innovation at USC Viterbi. Every gift honors what has been built and fuels what comes next.

Celebrate the Past. Build the Future.

A gift today sustains the momentum of the past 20 years and accelerates the next chapter of discovery and impact. Your support will:

• Expand scholarships and student access

• Fuel bold research and transformative innovation

• Strengthen hands-on learning and interdisciplinary collaboration

• Empower the next generation of Trojan engineers
