Supporting Our International Community

On behalf of President Nikias and the entire USC administration, I write to express our concern about the recent executive order (Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States) limiting immigration and entry into the United States, and how it could impact hundreds of our international students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

Support for Faculty and Staff

The tragic and untimely death of our esteemed colleague and friend, Professor Bosco Tjan, has touched all of us at USC. While I know you are all sending your thoughts, and best wishes to his family, I also want us to remember to take care of each other.

Memo to the USC Community Regarding DACA

There has been significant deliberation and debate recently about potential changes to federal policies that might impact higher education.  One specific area of heightened concern, both nationally and on our campus, involves the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) and the status of college and university students who are protected by it.
