SUMMARY:Meet USC President Emeritus C. L.  Max Nikias
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk & Signing\nAmerican Trojan: Leadership\, Resilience\, and the Renewal of Higher Education \n \nAmerican Trojan is the captivating story of a refugee who lost everything and then rebuilt it all\, an immigrant who defied the odds and achieved the American Dream; a visionary technologist who transformed the University of Southern California into one of the nation’s most prestigious private research universities. \nAt a time when many universities have succumbed to ideology over truth\, under Nikias’s leadership\, USC retained its academic integrity in the face of high-stakes negotiations\, high-rolling donors\, and the profound challenges of modern leadership. \nAmerican Trojan offers candid insights into how Nikias’ bold vision transformed USC into one of America’s most elite universities. More than a personal story\, it is a blueprint for leadership\, offering insights into how Nikias and his team strategized to meet formidable challenges to USC. \nDr. Nikias will delve into the book’s central themes of immigration and the American Dream. He’ll explore transformative leadership principles and the rise of USC to national prominence\, highlighting both its successes and challenges. He will also analyze the current crisis in higher education and provide specific recommendations for universities to renew and reclaim their true mission. \nAmerican Trojan has been endorsed by Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien\, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger\, General David Petraeus\, Victor Davis Hanson and many others. \nAbout the Author: Over the past three decades\, Dr. Nikias has served as Center Director\, Dean of Engineering\, Provost\, and President of USC. His pioneering patents and innovations in sonar\, radar\, and communication systems have been adopted by the U.S. Department of War. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences\, and the National Academy of Inventors. \nIn true Trojan spirit\, ALL registered attendees will receive a complimentary copy of American Trojan\, generously provided by Stephanie Argyros/Argyros Family Foundation. \nSeating is limited.
