- In a letter of welcome and thanks to the USC community, President Carol L. Folt notes that thousands of staff and faculty members are working to bring students back safely while dealing with COVID-19 in their own families.
- She reminds everyone that mental health resources are available to students and faculty and staff, and COVID-19 questions are answered by the COVID-19 response team at covid19@usc.edu and 213-740-6291.
- She notes that the university has worked hard over the past 18 months to define our unifying values — integrity; excellence; diversity, equity and inclusion; wellbeing; open communication; and accountability — which are the backbone of a new Code of Integrity and Accountability that has been adopted for faculty and staff.
