There was some work, lots of delicious food and a lot of fun!
The last regular TGLA meeting of 2014-2015 was the Installation meeting. President Mary Indenbaum called the meeting to order for the last time in her term.
The first order of business was the Installation of 2015-2016 Officers.
Everyone definitely enjoyed Carol's Installation.
Patricia asked the appointed 2015-2016 TGLA Officers to stand up and be recognized.
Next, Past Presidents were recognized.
Now it was time for Vice-Presidents - Membership, Sandi Hampar and Gloria Phillips, to introduce our new members for 2014-2015.
Welcome and FIGHT ON, to all of our new TGLA members!
Lucky Christine Ofiesh won the raffle prize, a USC football nutcracker. Congrats, Christine!
Now, it was time for our speaker Dr. Erica Muhl, the Dean of the Roski School. She posed with Vice Presidents - Programs Mary Hall and Carol Fox. Dr. Muhl spent twenty-three years as an Associate Dean in the Thornton School where she was a Professor of Fine Arts of Composition before moving to the Roski School. She spoke of the unique Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation. The Academy, which is the only undergraduate program of its kind in the nation, just admitted its second class of twenty-two students. The first class numbered thirty-one.
USC is at the forefront of preparing its undergrads for "...jobs that haven't been invented yet." What an inspiring presentation!
At the end of the meeting, Trojan Candy had the 2015-2016 New Board step downstairs for a directory picture. (Thank you, Jane, for taking the picture.) FIGHT ON, ladies!
