Transcription

>> Manny Ruiz: Well my passion, I think, is to serve as a voice for unrepresented communities. >> Hovanes Gasparian: It's a passion to help others, to give back. My focus was primarily on education. I came from very poor performing schools, very poor districts and I didn't realize that until I got into college. There's such a disparity and that's been my passion. >> Tim Copeland: My passion personally would be to get a doctorate in either public health or health policy. I really would like to see some systemic change. >> Thomas DeLorenzo: My passion is health policy. I want every American to have insurance. >> Emily Ghan: The Price School feeds my passion for political and civic engagement because it's not just about what we learn in the classrooms, it's about how we engage in the communities around us [background music]. I chose Price because I was really impressed by how-- by the emphasis they put on constantly improving themselves and constantly making things better and the student body stronger. The student resources that we have when people really care about your success and try and engage with you and really maximize your talents you certainly feel a sense of belonging. >> Angie Jean-Marie: I went to high school in Montgomery County Maryland. I was surrounded by people with really really diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. I decided to apply to Price because of the emphasis that it had on community development, urban planning and I really really saw that as being really really connected to policy. >> I came to Price because I was really taken by the curriculum. I felt that Price's was the strongest in quantitative course skills. >> Once I got to college I learned that I had a bigger role to play in terms of what I could do for my family and the community in general. I thought that USC would be the best place for me to grow professionally but also work directly with the communities around USC. >> The student community at Price is amazing. It's really really diverse. People are super passionate and they're really really smart. >> Every person that I met had already done so many amazing things. Whether it be, you know, Peace Corps or running a non-profit. >> You learn different skills from all of them and it's been an incredible professional development. >> Our course content seems at times to be highly theoretical but somehow the final project, your final examination always brings it back to practice. >> Definitely policy analysis skills was something that I wanted to acquire. That's the main reason why I wanted to be in MPP. >> With, you know, regression analysis and all the different techniques that we use for quantitative, you know, cost benefit analysis. >> We spend lots of money on different policies on housing policy, on, you know, welfare programs and the point is to know how effective they are. >> When I'm driving down the freeway and I see some transportation problems I start thinking to myself how would we study this? What are the policy implications? And this is just me driving to school. >> I can explain to you why a bill isn't going to work and I can look at the numbers and just pick it apart because of all the skills I've learned here. I had another internship at the inner city law center. I had a client there. He couldn't afford the mattress cover that you need to be treated properly for bed bugs. Through connections that I had I was able to change policy. Now the city of West Hollywood has a fund and a collection of these bed bug mattress covers available to people with lower incomes. Now this guy is living in a healthy, bed bug free environment. Changing one person's life like that makes my year. >> Impact is, sort of, the tangible differences. How is someone's life improved? How are things made better for that next generation of people? >> Impact to me is improving someone's healthcare opportunities. >> Being able to produce memos, research papers that tell people what might be the best solution. >> Being able to see the results of my work in action. Being able to see measurable change over time. >> Just making some, sort of, tangible difference in the world around you. >> Finding those areas of common ground and really building genuine connections with people. >> This is where I belong.

History

Urban planning classes were first delivered at USC in Fall of 1921 by Gordon Whitnall, who was instrumental in founding the Planning Commission of the City of Los Angeles. In 1929, the USC School of Citizenship and Public Administration opened its doors, becoming one of only two programs of its kind in the nation. The school did not resemble very much the larger complex school it is today, but it contained the seeds of what is currently the modern USC Price.

In addition to offering a degree in public administration, the School of Citizenship and Public Administration included classes in urban and regional planning from the outset, which eventually led to the urban and regional planning degree and school at USC. Over time, the School of Public Administration formed the health administration program and the public policy program.[6]

In 1955, the School of Public Administration and the School of Architecture and Fine Arts instituted a graduate program in city and regional planning. The graduate planning program grew into an independent academic unit in the 1960s. In 1971, the Irvine Foundation gave its first USC grant to establish an endowed chair in urban and regional planning. In 1974, the USC Board of Trustees merged the Graduate Program in Urban and Regional Planning with the Center for Urban Studies to create the School of Planning and Urban Studies, subsequently the School of Urban and Regional Planning, the first planning program in the nation to achieve status as an independent school. The Irvine foundation provided the new school with an additional endowment for the support of graduate students.[7] The school's undergraduate program was offered jointly with the School of Public Administration.

The School of Urban and Regional Planning formed a graduate program in real estate development in 1985, and founded the Lusk Center for Real Estate Development in 1988 with a private donation, with naming rights, from John Lusk and his family. The school also launched a new undergraduate program to complement its existing program with the School of Public Administration. A gift from Ralph Lewis and his wife Goldy, the co-founders of Lewis Homes,[8] enabled the School to break ground for a new building on May 24, 1995, USC's Ralph and Goldy Lewis Hall.[9] The School was renamed the School of Urban Planning and Development in 1996; and in 1998, the USC Board of Trustees merged the School of Urban Planning and Development with the School of Public Administration to form the School of Policy, Planning, and Development. The Lusk Center for Real Estate Development was reorganized into Lusk Center for Real Estate, a university-level research unit jointly administered by USC Price and the USC Marshall School of Business.[10][11]

In November 2011, the Price Family Charitable Fund gave a $50 million naming gift to honor the life and legacy of USC alumnus Sol Price, founder of Price Club.[12] The school was renamed the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy with the shortened name of USC Price.[3]
