Dear USC Family, Welcome to our USC community. As we say hello to our newest students, we also want to thank you for the support you’ve shown them in getting them to this moment in their academic careers. You’ve been there through all the long nights of homework, sports practices, and extracurriculars, and they’re now ready to build on everything you’ve taught them. Each semester, it’s a joy to witness the renewal of everything that makes our community so special. There’s a kinetic energy on our campuses that drives everything. Our students are filled with purpose, and they bring such creativity and heart to their academic work. We hope this packet of information will help your student be well and thrive at USC. Thank you for being a part of our Trojan Family – and for entrusting us with your student’s education. I hope you’ll stay involved as they continue their USC journeys. Encourage them to get to know their professors and find mentors. Support them as they try new things and step outside their comfort zones. And remind them to get involved in campus life and all the joy that surrounds them. I hope to see you at New Student Convocation. Let’s Fight On! together.
