Message from the Dean

To Our Students, Parents, Friends, Faculty, and Staff:

Welcome to the USC College Commencement website.   I hope you will find it a useful resource for information about the commencement activities hosted by USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences.

This year’s commencement festivities will take place on Friday, May 15, 2009. Following the University’s main commencement ceremony, USC College will host four satellite ceremonies.  Group breakdowns (by major and location) are just part of the information that you will find on this site. 

This year, USC College will graduate over 2,000 students.  Commencement offers us all the opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the accomplishments of our amazing students.  It is also a time to reflect on the impact that USC College has had on their lives.

Students, I look forward to being among the first to call you graduates of USC College!

With best wishes,


Howard Gillman

Dean, USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences
