Dear Fellow Trojan,

I am absolutely delighted to announce that the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) will move to USC from UCLA, representing a tremendously significant cluster hire of 110 faculty, researchers, and multidisciplinary staff. This group includes the eminent scientists Arthur W. Toga and Paul Thompson, who stand among the world's leading experts in studying the structure and function of the human brain. This is a landmark moment for USC, and will dramatically bolster a number of academic programs throughout the university.

Please see our press release ( http://www.alumniconnections.com/links/link.cgi?l=4435468&h=1479280&e=SCA-20130510132708 ) for additional details.

Yours truly,


C. L. Max Nikias
President
