The Museum of Natural History will soon undergo a major renovation, marking another enhancement to the neighborhood around Exposition Park and the USC campus. Over the past 10+ years, USC has promoted, with a great deal of success, community development in the area in an attempt to revitalize this long neglected part of the city. Jane Pisano was a key figure in leading these changes in her various roles in the USC administration. Last year, Ms. Pisano assumed the position of Director and President of the Natural History Museum. TPR is pleased to present this interview with Jane Pisano about the role institutions can play in neighborhood development.
