Greenlaw’s Smith Donates $10M to USC Price School for Real Estate Development Department
Wil Smith, founder and principal of Irvine-based Greenlaw Partners, donated $10 million to the USC Price School of Public Policy to bolster scholarships, research support and other resources. The gift establishes the USC Price Wilbur H. Smith III Department of Real Estate Development, representing the first naming gift of a department at USC Price.
“This generous gift will help us with our efforts to attract top scholars and hire outstanding researchers in real estate development,” USC President Carol L. Folt said. “We are thankful to Wil Smith for his philanthropic support and his longstanding involvement with the university.”
Scholarships provided through the gift will go to undergraduate and graduate students in real estate, with consideration of merit and need. The donation will also enable new professional development opportunities for students. Gift funds earmarked for faculty research will help the school attract rising experts in real estate and support research projects led by current faculty members.
