context_page_description: Anthony Lazzaro is a Senior Vice President Emeritus of the University of Southern California, having served the institution in a variety of administrative roles since 1948.
context_section_description: As the university liaison to the Olympic organizing committee, Lazzaro played a key role in the planning of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, working closely with committee chairman Peter Ueberroth. One of Lazzaro's primary contributions was to help in the design and planning of the Olympic Village and the construction of facilities including the McDonald's Swim Stadium. When President Ronald Reagan opened the games, he used Lazzaro's office as a temporary staging area.
  During the 1960s through the 1980s, Lazzaro was USC's senior officer responsible for dialog with the Community Redevelopment Agency in the university's district. He oversaw and negotiated agreements with the CRA and community leaders who were often concerned that USC's growth would affect local housing and job opportunities.
  For much of his career at USC, Lazzaro was also responsible for the university's relationship with the nearby Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where USC's football team has played games for decades. As USC's representative, he worked to harmonize various forces, including the expectations of NFL teams, the need to update the stadium periodically, and USC's commitment to students, alumni, and other ticket holders.
