DOCE Values

    Values Statement

    The Office of Community 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. 

    The Dornsife Office of Community 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.

    Integrity

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

    Excellence

    We seek to provide outstanding people-first service and support.

    Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    Well-Being

    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.

    Open Communication

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

    Accountability

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