It is with tremendous honor that the USC Casden Institute, in partnership with the University of Southern California Office of the Provost, proudly presents the inaugural Raymond and Dina Levy Distinguished Speakers Series featuring Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran speaking on the topic of "A Story of Two Ancient Peoples: From Cyrus the Great to the Cyrus Accords" on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

In conversation with award-winning writer Tabby Refael, Crown Prince Pahlavi will share his personal reflections on Iranian Jewish life prior to the Islamic Revolution and his views on secularism and the equality of all faiths in a post-theocratic Iran. Please see the registration link below. Seating is limited and due to security absolutely no walk-ins will be permitted. The USC Casden Institute extends its profound gratitude to the Levy family for their steadfast commitment to Jewish life at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and to the study of Mizrahi Jewish current affairs, history, and culture and to highlight the stories of Mizrahi Jews in America.
