Roberto Padilla, a USC Annenberg student completing a dual BA Communication/MA Communication Management degree, was named one of eighteen Luce Scholars selected nationally by the Henry Luce Foundation for the 2006-07 academic year. Padilla (pictured) and the other Luce Scholars will spend the year in Asia. Padilla's academic focus is children’s media and he is dedicated to pursuing a career that will allow him to improve children's media around the globe. He is a Norman Topping Scholarship recipient at USC, and in May will become the first member of his family to complete a college degree. Padilla is USC’s 13th Luce Scholar overall, and his selection represents the third USC student winner in the past four years (joining Bobby Cochran in 2003 and Sam Bazzi in 2005).
