Annenberg Media Center Named After Julie Chen, Leslie Moonves And CBS
The "special announcement" USC had been teasing is here.
The Media Center inside Wallis Annenberg Hall will be named for Julie Chen, a USC alum, her husband and president and CEO of CBS Leslie Moonves, and CBS.
The university made the announcement Wednesday morning prior to the 3:30 p.m. ceremony that would be held that day with President Nikias to make the official announcement.
A glass panel and two walls inside the Media Center will now have "Julie Chen/Moonves and CBS Media Center" plastered on them.
“After visiting the campus and seeing the impressive Wallis Annenberg Hall for the first time, I was inspired to support my alma mater and prouder than ever to be a Trojan,” Chen said to USC News. “Spending time with the bright, engaged students I’ve met at USC Annenberg — and seeing these cutting-edge studios and workspaces come to life — energized and motivated me to be involved and hopefully make an impact on future generations of journalists and communicators.”
The Media Center is part of the brand new $59 million Wallis Annenberg Hall on the USC campus.
