Become a USC Advocate
Alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends can have an active role in the university’s future. USC advocates share the vital role in fostering both our state’s and residents’ economic well-being.
Get Involved
Knowing and interacting with elected representatives is crucial for effective civic engagement. Understanding their positions and priorities enables you to advocate for policies that directly impact your community – including the university – and ensure that your concerns are heard at the state level.
