As vice provost for globalization since June 2007, Adam Clayton Powell III works with faculty and deans to advance USC’s globalization initiative, which encompasses expanding the university’s international presence, increasing USC’s leadership role in the Association of Pacific Rim Universities and promoting the university throughout the world.
Powell previously served as director of the USC Integrated Media Systems Center, the National Science Foundation’s Research Center for multimedia research. He is a University Fellow at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, housed in the USC Annenberg School for Communication.
Prior to joining USC in 2003, Powell was general manager of Howard University’s WHUT-TV, the first African American-owned public television station in the United States. Before 2001, he served as vice president/technology and programs for the Freedom Forum.
