  • Connecting USC students, faculty, and staff to neighbors, community partners, and public officials
  • Supporting external community partnership and civic engagement efforts
  • Expanding and increasing the University’s economic investment in University Park Campus & Health Sciences Campus communities
  • Building and support educational and career opportunities
