Dear Trojan Family,
Research is fundamental to USC’s mission. Our researchers are developing groundbreaking treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, blindness, and cancer; generating innovative technologies that improve lives; and expanding the frontiers of human knowledge and understanding. As you can see here, there’s no limit to what we can achieve together.
Our research is supported not just by the government, foundations, and the private sector – but also by individuals such as yourself. To help advance USC research, and to support the faculty who have dedicated their lives to this vital work, I’m launching the Trojan Fund for Research Excellence. This dedicated fund will give every member of our Trojan Family the opportunity to advance USC’s research mission and its far-reaching impacts on our community, our economy, our nation, and our world.
Thank you for everything you do to support USC and its mission of advancing knowledge and transforming lives. That mission has never been more meaningful than it is today.
Together, let’s Fight On!
Beong-Soo Kim
Interim President
