Message from the Dean


September 17, 2007

To the USC College Community: 

Over the next four days my office will be announcing four major new initiatives, covering Faculty Affairs, Graduate Programs, Undergraduate Programs, and Research Advancement.  Some involve the allocation of significant new resources in support of new activities; others describe new College-wide responsibilities and expectations. 

I hope you will take the time to read them carefully  so that we may partner together and advance our common goal of achieving higher levels of excellence in undergraduate education, graduate training, and world-class research and scholarship.
