On Thursday, June 9, 2005 San Diego

engineering alumni came together for a

private evening aboard the USS Midway —

San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum. Alumni

shared in private tours of the museum, flight

simulations and a special keynote presentation

by historian Scott McGaugh, author of

Midway Magic. USC’s Vice Provost for

Research Advancement Dr. Randolph Hall

commented on the engineering research at

USC. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering

extends its gratitude to event sponsors:

Julie and Bryan Min (BSISE ’86), Rita and

Hal Potter (BEME ’57), and Jeannie and

Ted Scalise (BSEE ’88).With special thanks

to Daniel J. Epstein (BSISE ’62) for his

inspiration and guidance in making the

evening possible.

All aboard the USS Hornet — northern California engineering alumni joined together with their families for a great Father’s Day celebration. Over 150 alumni joined the Viterbi School for a  special presentation led by alumnus and former  ecretary of the Air Force Thomas C. Reed (MSEE ’59). Alumni enjoyed a private barbeque and Viterbi kids explored the carrier on special Kids Ship

Adventure tours.

.

On July 23rd, the Viterbi School hosted its

third annual “Evening at the Hollywood

Bowl.” 125 alumni and friends of the School

gathered for a reception and dinner prior to

the concert at the Bowl’s Museum Garden.

They were also treated to a fascinating presentation by Eric Elias, the Bowls’

pyrotechnic operator, responsible for the

fireworks that accompanied the concert

later in that evening. Following dinner, the

group enjoyed the “Tchaikovsky Spectacular” with a brief performance by the Trojan Marching Band.
