Welcome to USC Presents...on the ResearchChannel
USC is a member of the ResearchChannel, a consortium of leading research universities and organizations that use cutting edge technologies to publicize the research conducted at each institution. The ResearchChannel is an opportunity for the University of Southern California to deliver lectures, presentations, symposia, and panels to a potentially large global audience. The Channel provides an excellent way to promote the research strengths of USC, support recruitment of students and faculty, and enhance USC's research, education, and outreach missions.
The ResearchChannel is carried on the Echostar Satellite Dish Network (Channel 9400) and many cable television systems in U.S. cities (including LA36) as well as on college campuses. The programming is also streamed live and on-demand via the ResearchChannel's website located at USC Presents...on the ResearchChannel.
The ResearchChannel project at USC is administered by the Center for Scholarly Technology (CST).
USC now presents four program series on the ResearchChannel.

USC Presents...Closer To Truth: What Is Parapsychology?
