f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><b>Visionary Investor in Dornsife&#8217;s Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Investing is very much Bob Beyer\u2019s area of expertise. After graduating from USC with a degree in business in 1981, Beyer went on to a successful career in investment management. He served as Chief Executive Officer of The TCW Group and founded Crescent Capital Group and Chaparal Investments LLC. He has served with distinction on the boards of such companies as Kroger and Allstate, while also providing his financial expertise as a board member of the Los Angeles City Employees Retirement System and Los Angeles World Airports. With nearly 35 years of experience directing investment strategy, Beyer knows how to distinguish promise from pure risk, sound fundamentals from shaky foundations, a strong vision from a weak one.<\/p>\n<p>Beyer views USC Dornsife through that same lens, as a good investment in the future of American higher education. \u201cIn the 35 years since I graduated, I\u2019ve witnessed the results of intelligent investments by the university administration in the increased quality of the research and teaching and the reputation that the college enjoys today,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Beyer sees these results often in his work on the USC Dornsife Board of Councilors. It\u2019s one of the reasons why, after 15 years on the board, he recently agreed to serve as its chair. In this capacity, he provides strategic advice to Dean Amber Miller and the rest of the USC Dornsife leadership team on the direction of the college. He also sees it in the experience of his daughter, a current USC Dornsife student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21st Century Learning\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy children are part a generation of future leaders who don\u2019t necessarily want to be boxed in by narrow areas of study or expertise. They want to combine fields and areas of study. They also want to use their skills and experience to positively impact the future of society and humanity. I am confident that USC Dornsife is focused on the same results,\u201d says Beyer.<\/p>\n<p>This focus on the future and cross-disciplinary research is one of the main reasons Beyer made the decision to endow a faculty chair in the natural sciences in 2015. The Robert D. Beyer (\u201981) Early Career Chair in Natural Sciences is currently held by Professor Moh El-Naggar, a biophysicist who researches the use of biological material to generate usable energy. El-Naggar\u2019s research combines various fields of inquiry with a focus on practical application, two features that Beyer believes set USC Dornsife apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNatural science is where some of our best research is occurring, and it stands at the apex of so many of our interdisciplinary opportunities,\u201d says Beyer. \u201cAs a significant priority for Dornsife, supporting and promoting our younger faculty in the sciences became my family\u2019s priority as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his time and service at USC Dornsife, he\u2019s watched leaders transition and the college continue its growth trajectory. But he views the current phase of USC Dornsife\u2019s development as particularly exciting. \u201cWith the arrival of Dean Miller and her drive and determination to raise Dornsife to even greater academic prowess, I think we have a unique opportunity,\u201d he says. \u201cWe are going to have to significantly up our game to keep pace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/giving\/your-impact\/our-supporters\/\">Return to Supporter Stories<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 15 years on the board, Bob Beyer was recently named the chair of the USC Dornsife Board of Councilors.
