ENRICH

Our success at USC Dornsife derives in great part from our faculty’s ability to bring their diverse perspectives and expertise to bear on vital issues while also preparing our students to be fearless creators of knowledge.

The USC Dornsife Initiative will enable us to expand discovery-based learning through further investment in graduate and postdoctoral fellowships. It also will enable us to strengthen undergraduate programs such as Student Opportunities for Academic Research and the Summer Undergraduate Research Fund, opportunities for overseas study, and service-learning programs such as the Joint Educational Project.
