Why Give?
Academy Member Genaro F. Carapia MS ’84, retired LAUSD principal
“My wife, Lai Tan, and I support Rossier because we truly believe that one of education’s most cherished virtues is HOPE. Our annual gift supports future educators and administrators who will truly make a difference in shaping young minds.”
Academy Member Bob Cornelius EdD ’79, retired deputy superintendent
“My gift to Rossier was in recognition of the leadership and guidance provided by Dean Gallagher. Her initiatives and focus have given momentum to USC’s education mission.”
