One of USC s four residential colleges, New College is a dynamic, student-driven community where academic pursuits, cultural programs, sports events and social activities are interwoven with daily living. The activities are shaped by the resident faculty master, the staff and the students who often refer to the college affectionately as Nuevo. Faculty Master Stan Rosen, a professor of political science specializing in Chinese and Asian politics, has sought to incorporate his own interests in film, music, politics and international studies into New College programs. At least once a month the residents travel off campus to sample ethnic food from around the world, guided by specialists on the particular cuisine s culture. Trips to jazz or blues clubs are also a regular feature.
