Many Trojans from across the USC Community collaborated on this report. It is designed to provide you with a broad accounting of progress that has been made along our Culture Journey to date, connect you with resources, and invite your participation in charting the course for our continued efforts ahead.

At USC’s Fall Convocation for incoming students, Interim VP for Student Affairs Dr. Monique S. Allard introduced the new Student Commitment – a set of aspirational statements designed to inspire students to put our Unifying Values into action.

We are champions of civil discourse, mutual respect, and intelligent debate. Together, we are an essential part of the solution to bridge what divides us as a country.

Accomplishing our mission requires that we build a culture that reinforces the ethical framework within which we make decisions. Key to establishing that culture is embracing values that guide our actions.
