DOCE

Our Inspiration: The DOCE Guiding Values

The Dornsife Office of Community Engagement aligns with USC’s Unifying Values and with those throughout the university who embrace and embody them.

Additionally, the following four values reflect our pursuit of community, a lasting and resilient sense of togetherness in Dornsife that welcomes and empowers the best versions of ourselves.

In our growth towards communal excellence, we look for opportunities to expand these notions:

DOCE Values

  • Respect
  • Generosity
  • Inquiry
  • Fellowship

Respect

Regard for the humanity of each person guides our words and actions, even when their experiences and perspectives differ from our own. 

 

 

Generosity

Enthusiastic contributions of our time, talent, and knowledge characterize life and work in Dornsife and contribute to our excellence. 

 

 

Inquiry

Formal and informal modes of curiosity inspire us to craft effective questions and follow the ethical, relentless pursuit of right answers. 

 

Fellowship

Camaraderie and cooperation make Dornsife an expansive, exuberant community where we all belong.
