Elizabeth Garrett: What Matters to Me and Why

Elizabeth Garrett, USC provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, discussed the topic of "What Matters to Me and Why" on Sept. 7, 2011.

In addition to being provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, Garrett is the Francis R. and John J. Duggan Professor at the USC Gould School of Law. As the university's second-ranking officer, she oversees the USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences as well as the Keck School of Medicine of USC and 16 other professional schools in addition to the divisions of student affairs, libraries, information technology services, research, student religious life and enrollment services. Before entering academics, Garrett clerked for Justice Thurgood Marshall on the U.S. Supreme Court.

"What Matters to Me and Why" is a speakers' series that bridges the separation between intellectual life and personal and spiritual issues by having featured USC faculty and administrators spend about 20 minutes addressing the topic "What Matters to Me and Why," followed by an informal dialogue rounding out the hour.

The program is sponsored by the USC Office of Religious Life and the USC Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics.
