The Culture Journey
USC’s Culture Journey is a university-wide initiative to explore our values, align the supportive behaviors that bring those values to life and develop opportunities to improve our systems and processes. Together we are shaping our culture.

Our USC
At USC we have shaped our shared, unifying values as a community. Take a look around and explore our Unifying Values, where they come from, and what people are saying about it!
