Howard Gillman, Dean of the College
To the USC College Community:
Over the next four days my office will be announcing major new initiatives, covering Graduate Programs, Undergraduate Programs, and Research Advancement. Some involve the allocation of significant new resources in support of new activities; others describe new College-wide responsibilities and expectations.
I hope you will take the time to read them carefully so that we may partner together and advance our common goal of achieving higher levels of excellence in undergraduate education, graduate training, and world-class research and scholarship.
