Charles (BS’45) and Rose Ann Flanagan established a Charitable Remainder Unitrust that provides a lifetime stream of income and other important income and estate tax benefits. In recognition of their generosity, the USC Viterbi School will establish an endowed scholarship in their names to benefit future generations of engineering students.

Ralph (MSAE '60) and Helen (BS BUAD '51) McCormick established a Charitable Gift Annuity that provides a fixed annual income for their life and a current tax deduction in exchange for a gift to the Viterbi School.
