A New Era of Storytelling Begins

Join USC Annenberg Dean Willow Bay as we mark the opening of the Wallis Annenberg Studio, a state-of-the-art multimedia hub at USC’s Capital Campus that places students at the center of news, public discourse and global communications.

Hear from leaders who are making and breaking news — including Jessica Berman, commissioner of the National Women’s Soccer League; Monica Alba, White House correspondent for NBC News; and USC students reporting from the heart of the nation’s capital. Through live conversations and multimedia storytelling, they will offer an inside look at the people, issues and events shaping the news of the day.
