RFA contributes to University’s Good Neighbors Campaign
One of the core elements in the Retired Faculty Association’s mission is its Russell Caldwell Scholars program. Cooperating with USC’s Office of Financial Aid, the Retired Faculty Association offers financial assistance to qualified undergraduate students who have graduated from high schools in USC’s central city neighborhoods.
This commitment to USC’s neighborhood is also expressed by the Retired Faculty Association’s annual contribution to the University’s Good Neighbors Program. During 2010-2011, RFA contributed $2,000 to this program. “We want to be responsible citizens in this part of our city,” says John Orr, RFA’s 2010-2011 President. “That is why our budget supports Caldwell Scholars and Good Neighbors activities.”
Thomas Sayles, Senior Vice President for University Relations, recently acknowledged RFA’s contribution to the Good Neighbors Program. “This is a tremendous vote of confidence in USC’s outstanding community programs,” he wrote. “We warmly applaud your generosity, as well as your continued commitment to the University.”
