Values

The Office of Equity & Engagement finds great resonance with the six unifying values of the USC Culture Journey. The six values elevate our university’s highest aspirations as a scholarly and professional community: 

1) Integrity

2) Excellence

3) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

4) Well-Being

5) Open Communication

6) Accountability

The Dornsife Office of Equity & Engagement stands in solidarity with our colleagues and students across the campus who have embraced the Culture Journey values because of their direct relevance to our daily work, as clarified below.

We seek to serve our colleagues and students in ways that are just, ethical, and agreement-bound.

We seek to provide outstanding DEIB service and support.

We seek to honor our colleagues and students as whole persons and in working alongside them, we intend to err on the side of respect, kindness, and empathy.

We seek reciprocal, constructive transparency and also confidentiality, where appropriate.

We seek to take care with details, acknowledge and correct our mistakes, and show up as leaders where it matters most.
