| Phillip (BSCE ’70, MBA ’72) and Cayley (MAPT ’75) MacDonald endowed an Early Career Chair that will enable the Viterbi School to compete successfully in attracting the best and brightest young faculty in the nation. The funds generated from their gift will provide chair-holders an opportunity to enhance and gain recognition for their academic performance through research funding and stipends. |

- Provide permanent and everlasting support for the Viterbi School
- Secure your legacy at USC forever
Increasing the endowment is a high priority of the USC Viterbi School’s

Chairs and Professorships
A named chair or professorship recognizes scholarly excellence and is the highest honor the School can bestow upon its faculty.
Early Career Chairs
A named assistant professorship honors and supports young faculty who show great promise in their chosen fields.
Student Scholarships and Fellowships
Scholarship and fellowship support enhances the School’s ability to reward student excellence and to recruit both
meritorious and students with financial need.

I wanted to endow a chair as an expression of appreciation to USC for the education I received there. It gave me the capability and confidence to become a very competent engineer.
