President Beong-Soo Kim delivered his first public address Tuesday, following last week’s announcement naming him the 13th president of USC. Kim discussed a $30 million surplus in the university’s budget, expanding alumni programs and the new partnership with ChatGPT. During the speech, Faculty for Justice in Palestine held an “alternative address” outside of Bovard Auditorium.
