Leadership Commitments

Generous contributions from USC trustees, alumni, parents, and friends have already begun to make a significant impact by bolstering our endowment, creating more student scholarships, advancing research and healthcare, and funding academic priorities and building projects. The exemplary generosity of our visionary leaders, as well as the steadfast support from all of the university’s donors, is an inspiration for the entire Trojan Family. Collectively, we will have an extraordinary impact on the university, our community, and the world.
