"Housing puts the money wherever they
think it is most needed at the time," Barfield
said.
This ability to make money is only one
reason for the growth of the conferencing
business, USC's Conference Coordinator

"The baby-boom generation is impacting
all phases of American culture," Steele
said. "It affects our lifestyles, our economy,
