part of this committee, I feel it is our part to not only help people understand that
process, but to also strive for our own personal growth and development.”

feels comfortable being themselves.”

“My thought of inclusion is a culture of open communication and active listening.
I believe our responsibility to one another is to encourage individual identity and
ideas to build socially sustainable, resilient communities.”
Interim Assistant Dean for Opportunity and Engagement / Director of Corporate Engagement
“I hope this committee helps to create an inclusive culture in which students, faculty
and staff feel like they belong, are heard and respected. I also hope we celebrate
the value that those individuals from underrepresented backgrounds bring to our college.”
Senior Instructor, Department of Sport and Entertainment Management
"One of my mentors said to me, 'It's a minority's job to hold the door open for other minorities.' So if I have a special niche here, it's to help our female students to get a better
understanding of what it takes to succeed in leadership."
Assistant Dean of Student Services
“I see inclusion as the acknowledgment of our differences and appreciation of the
unique perspectives we bring to the classroom, college and USC community.”
Associate Professor, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management

is for the committee to help students, faculty and staff develop a deeper understanding
and appreciation of the value of true inclusion.”
