Greek Alumnus Donates $200 Million to USC
David Dornsife, a member of Kappa Alpha Order, has donated $200 million dollars to his alma mater. The gift was designated for the University of Southern California School of Letters, Arts and Sciences. In his honor the university will rename the school, David Dornsife School of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
The Dornsife family had previously donated $21 million to create the Dornsife Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging Center and to support the ground breaking neuroscience research of Honda Prize holder, Dr. Antonio Damasio.
At SC Dornsife was an active member of Kappa Alpha Order. He was also on the track and field team. Jon Arnett, the late Marlin McKeever and other All Americans were USC Kappa Alphas.
Mr. Dornsife's parents both graduated from the university.
This gift is the largest in USC's history. Up to this time the largest gift was by alumnus, George Lucas, who donated $175 million to build the
new School of Cinematic Arts complex.
