Grace Ford Salvatori Community Service Tuition Scholarships

March 25, 2013

The Salvatori Community Scholars program provides support to advanced graduate students who are doing community-based research whose experiences with community-based organizations can lead to new opportunities for service-learning students at USC.

Scholar(s) work with JEP’s Associate Director for Research and Academic Affairs, USC faculty, and one or more community organizations to develop service-learning projects for undergraduate USC students. Projects are to be jointly determined by the needs of the community, the academic goals of the service-learning course, and the abilities and interests of the Scholar, and might include participatory action research or direct service activities. All projects must involve undergraduate students in work that builds their knowledge and skills while supporting the Scholar in a community-centered project. Ideally, the service-learning project will closely correspond to the scholarly activities of the Salvatori Community Scholar.

HAUNTING USC – an installation by Doug Jarvis (March 7)

March 7, 2013

The CRCC Interdisciplinary Research Group, the USC Roski School of Fine Arts, and USC Archaeology are proud to present Haunting USC, an installation by artist Doug Jarvis.

Haunting USC

March 7, 2013
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
University Park Campus
USC Fisher Museum of Art (HAR)

Haunting USC is an investigation of human perception in an increasingly virtualized and mediated world. Artist Doug Jarvis (Victoria, BC, Canada) will inhabit a physical and psychic site within the USC Fisher Museum of Art.

Artist Doug Jarvis explores the phenomenon of “persistence of personality” as a way of engaging with the potential of the human imaginary. Drawing on his individual and collective projects he will construct an action-based media collage as a temporary installation within the gallery, culminating in a public discussion on Thursday, March 7 at 3:00 p.m.

Jarvis, a founding member of the avatar performance art group Second Front and the art collective Noxious Sector, presents an exploration of the potential of existing in the world in a variety of dimensions and forms.

Jarvis will be around the gallery during gallery hours on Wednesday and Thursday engaging with the site and building the temporary installation. The public are welcome to view the process during this time and to attend the public presentation.

We hope to see you there!

Student jobs available at the Archaeology Research Center

February 14, 2013

The USC Archaeology Research Center has paid jobs to work with the Pimu (Catalina) Island Archaeology Project. The specific project relates to archaeology research from Catalina Island, where USC’s Wrigley Center is located.

Catalina Island has been inhabited since 7,000 BC, and thousands of Native American archaeological sites dot the landscape. You’ll be helping create a database of site descriptions.

You do not need to know anything about archaeology. This project is ideal for motivated students who can read handwritten records and type details into a database.

The positions begin Spring 2013, and work study or stipend funding is available. Flexible hours available are for those who can work independently.

Interested students should contact Lynn Swartz Dodd at swartz@usc.edu Include your class level at USC and a few sentences about your past experience and abilities.
