Seeking input and counsel from advisory groups is an important component of USC College's plan to become one of the world's preeminent research colleges.

USC College currently has six advisory boards and committees.

• Board of Councilors
• Brain and Creativity Institute Board
• USC-Huntington Institutes for Advanced Study Board
• USC Korean Studies Institute Board
• USC Shoah Foundation Institute Board of Councilors
• USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies Advisory Board

Whether organized regionally or thematically, each board is actively involved in shaping the strategic direction of USC College, ensuring that our academic programs remain challenging and competitive, while the educational experience we provide continues to meet the needs of an evolving society

Advisory boards contribute valuable, ongoing advice about academic programs and other higher education matters. Advisory boards are encouraged to take ownership of programs and institutes and suggest ways to improve and refine current offerings. Their active feedback about College initiatives ensures that we will continue to deliver a first-rate education for all of our students.

Advisory boards also play a vital role in facilitating community engagement and involvement in USC College programs. The civic leadership they provide is critical to the College's development of meaningful relationships with other businesses and community organizations.  Their leadership supports the College's strategy of forging partnerships with external institutions.

As competition among higher education providers intensifies worldwide, the role of the advisory board becomes increasingly important to the future success of USC College.
