"For 18 years, Dr. Jackson has served in this key leadership role with tremendous distinction, assisting the university in its efforts to become a top destination for students around the world, as well as a fully residential university," Nikias said.

"Dr. Jackson has touched countless students with his vision and compassion, and I know the entire USC community joins me in commending his outstanding service."

According to President Nikias, Dr. Jackson will take a one-year sabbatical, after which he will return "as emiritus vice president and executive director of International Advancement."  

He will also continue to serve as a professor of higher education in the USC Rossier School of Education.
