Norman H. Topping
While President of USC, Topping announced an ambitious "Master Plan for Enterprise and Excellence in Education." As part of the execution of the plan, USC's University Park Campus grew from 95 to 150 acres. Several dozen temporary buildings were replaced with permanent structures. In sum, it was the largest expansion of USC's physical campus, and helped pave the way for future expansion of USC's research mission.[1] Also during Topping's presidency, USC joined the Association of American Universities an important symbolic step toward USC's increasing recognition as a top tier research university.
