Students from the USC Family of Schools wrote letters of appreciation to USC President Sample on the occasion of his upcoming retirement. Letters thanked him for making possible the many community-outreach programs that provide students a wide range of activities - from after-school tutoring, sports programs, art and music programs, science programs and more.

All of the letters were presented to President Sample at a special event that took place at USC Galen Center. A box was custom made to hold the letters. In this photo, Tom Sayles (left), vice president, USC Government and Community Relations, presents the box to President Sample (right).
