CELEBRATING THE CREATIVES

This year’s theme uplifts and commemorates the creatives: artists, architects, animators, and design leaders who, in multi-dimensional capacities of the creative economy, embrace the complexities of social, environmental, and political concerns. They—along with the builders, planners, disruptors, influencers, and investors—create and make spaces in the world for dynamic, diverse communities to thrive.

ABOUT USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

Willow Bay Interim Dean Students 700 Faculty 110

Established in 1919, the USC School of Architecture capitalizes on the synergy created by its location and its activity. As an academic cultural institution in South Los Angeles, its impact reaches Latin America and the Pacific Rim and engages local citizenry on issues that affect their own environment, community and well being.

Throughout its activity on campus and off, USC Architecture promotes a greater understanding of space, the city and urbanization as part of an ethical and philanthropic vision. Our impact is shaped by the courage of our faculty to pose difficult questions, engage in robust debate, and integrate interdisciplinary thinking into their pedagogies. We're redefining the agency of architect to include citizen, influencer of public policy, and advocate for change.

A broadcast journalist, media pioneer and digital communication leader, Willow Bay is the dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. The first female dean of USC Annenberg, Bay oversees more than 200 faculty and staff, and more than 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students across the fields of communication, journalism, public relations and public diplomacy.

As dean, Bay has led academic and research innovations while strengthening USC Annenberg’s connections with the communication fields. She launched a series of curricular improvements, including an expansion of the school’s experiential education and career development programs. Since her installation in 2017, Bay also has focused on advancing the school’s portfolio of innovative research that delivers insights, challenges assumptions and offers knowledge based solutions to drive change. She has increased USC Annenberg’s partnerships with its industries of practice as well as bolstered the school’s academic and financial foundations through endowed support for faculty chairs, student success, diversity in journalism, and conversations amplifying mental health.

Bay has increased Annenberg’s public engagement around critical issues such as the role of communication technology in advancing equity and access, digital media literacy, gender equity in media and communication, and sports and social change. A skilled television interviewer, Bay has also led conversations with a number of global influencers, including former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She has also attracted highly visible speakers to campus, including Jorge Ramos, Oprah Winfrey and Maverick Carter.

Prior to her role as dean, Bay spent three years as director of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism (2014 '17) and guided the 2014 launch of the state-of-the-art media center in Wallis Annenberg Hall, a newsroom, classroom and incubator of new ideas open to students across the university. During that time, she also introduced the school’s new Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree program and welcomed the first cohort of the school’s nine month Master of Science in Journalism program.

Bay’s academic and industry engagement is focused on the intersection of media, technology and business. Building on research from her first book, Talking to Your Kids in Tough Times: How to Answer Your Child’s Questions about the World We Live In (Warner Books, 2003), she is the co author of a series of global research reports on the impact of mobile technologies on teens and parents titled “The New Normal.”

Bay came to USC Annenberg from her post as senior editor and senior strategic advisor of The Huffington Post, where she managed editorial content and growth initiatives for the pioneering online news site. Her prominent broadcast experience includes reporting and anchoring for ABC News’ Good Morning America/Sunday and serving as a correspondent for Good Morning America and World News Weekend. She was the first woman to co anchor CNN’s flagship daily financial news program Moneyline. At NBC, she co hosted NBA Inside Stuff, the NBA's weekly magazine show, and served as a correspondent for the Today Show

In addition, she was a special correspondent for Bloomberg TV and host of Women to Watch, a primetime program that profiled the next generation of women leaders.

Originally from New York, Bay graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in literature and received her MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business.
