Endowment/History
The cornerstone gift, made by the Lusk family in the early 1980s, enabled the creation of a center for real estate research, student programs, and professional education at the University of Southern California. The Lusk endowment further established the Lusk Chair in Real Estate within the Marshall School of Business and the School of Policy, Planning, and Development and also funds scholarships for graduate real estate students.
The Lusk Company has been a major force in the residential development of Southern California. The Lusk family has an affiliation with the University of Southern California that spans four generations, and their endowment has guaranteed a permanent role for the University in real estate research and education. It is fitting that the distinguished Lusk name be associated with the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate.
