Legend & Legacy

Professor Steven Lamy

Steve Lamy has been the champion of CALIS outreach. When he came to USC in 1980, he started trainings in global studies and conducted workshops for teachers locally and nationally.  His leadership in case teaching with analytical tools spearheaded the CALIS mission.

School of International Relations

Outreach was a longstanding priority for the School of International Relations.  SIR launched the Teaching International Relations Program—TIRP in the 1990s. Professors are staunch supporters of service-learning credit in their IR courses.

The Kachigian Endowment

In honor of former IR student Harold Kachigian, the family endowment is dedicated to maintaining a team of undergraduate Research Assistants who also participate every semester in the Teaching International Relations Program—TIRP.
