Ways to connect

USC offers a variety of opportunities for faculty and staff to connect. Whether you’re looking to learn more about your benefits, engage in our Culture Journey, support the community, or stay in the know on your favorite topics, here are the ways you can take part, engage, or give back.

TOP NOTCH TROJANS
USC’s employee-to-employee shoutout program
USC’s faculty and staff shoutout program highlights standout Trojans for making USC such a special place to work. The program is currently being transformed to best recognize and give our Trojan faculty and staff the praise they deserve!
Stay tuned to the Gateway Connect newsletter over the coming months for more information about the refreshed Top Notch Trojans program and how to participate once it launches.
OUR TROJAN VETERANS
Are you an employee and a veteran or a member of the armed Services?
USC has continuously maintained close and strong bonds with the armed services, and we encourage veterans to designate their veteran status in Workday. For help, refer to the “Changing veteran status” guide under “Personal information” on the Workday Help site.
Here are some stories about colleagues who have served as radio officers, combat medics and even cooks for the Armed Forces.
