Our mission is to foster a sense of belonging and a culture of holistic well-being through intentional mentorship, supportive services, and leadership opportunities.
La CASA strives to educate the campus about Latinx issues and the ethnic diversity represented within the Latinx diaspora (i.e. Central & South America, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico), by offering programs and services that focus on intersectionality.
The LGBTQ+ Student Center provides support, education, advocacy, and community for LGBTQ+ and allied undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Southern California.
The Student Basic Needs department fosters a culture of holistic well-being by helping to eliminate life barriers, such as food, housing, and economic injustice, that may jeopardize student academic and personal success.
