Program Benefits

As a member of the HRSM Leadership Program, you will be part of a distinguished group of students from diverse backgrounds who all share a common goal of academic and leadership success. You will gain many opportunities to develop your leadership skills both personally and professionally, including:

The HRSM Leaders Program has deeply enriched my time at USC. You learn a lot of skills that can be applied in life or in future jobs in the industry such as public speaking and problem solving. I have made so many connections with friends, faculty, and industry professionals through the Leadership Program, and I know these relationships will sustain me the rest of my career.
