The University has been honored for its Campus Safety and Awareness Initiative.

USC received the Outstanding Collaboration/Partnership Award from the South region of the National Association of College Auxiliary Services (NACAS).

Launched in 2003, the initiative led to the creation of University Housing's successful Evening Service Office, which monitors residence-hall information-desk programs and personnel; conducts safety-related inspections; and works with hired safety personnel, University offices, and emergency responders.

The Campus Safety and Awareness Initiative is a partnership among USC faculty, staff, students, and departments, including Residence Life, the USC Police Department, the University Safety Committee, Alcohol & Drug Programs, the Counseling and Human Development Center, the Office for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention, Housing Facilities Management, and University Facilities.
