Amelia Craver Special Lecture
Thanks to the leadership and generosity of Amelia Craver, Genetic Counseling Class of 1988, the USC Genetic Counseling Program launched a special Challenge Grant Campaign in 2013. Amelia contributed $25,000 to match dollar-for-dollar donations received from alumni and friends of the Genetic Counseling Program and donations from local, statewide and national organizations. The 2013 Challenge Grant stimulated over $75,000 in contributions and created the official Genetic Counseling Endowment.
As a tribute to her vision for the future, the program has created the Amelia Craver Special Lecture in Genetic Counseling. Each year, our students, faculty and friends of the program will benefit from a special speaker to broaden our perspectives on genetic counseling.
