“Open dialogue is easy to support in principle but more difficult to ingrain in the culture and actions of a university. USC is 100% committed to that work, which is foundational to everything we do – educating future leaders, advancing cutting-edge research, and upholding the principles of freedom and democracy.” fire.org/news/usc-earns-fire…

Most Angelenos have experienced Paul R. Williams’ remarkable architectural legacy, whether we realized it or not. Proud that @fishermuseum is showcasing the work of this extraordinary USC alum whose influence extends far beyond LA. nytimes.com/2026/08/26/arts/…

Grateful to @jimmyiovine_ and @drdre for their friendship and visionary support of @USCIovineYoung. IYA was founded 13 years ago around ideas that felt radical at the time: that the biggest challenges require transdisciplinary thinking, that students learn by tackling real-world projects, and that industry should be part of the educational experience, not something waiting after graduation. Today, those ideas point toward the future of higher education. nytimes.com/2026/08/23/busin…

Wise words from @FrankBruni. My only clarification would be that you don't need to choose between the humanities and other subjects. Study both. nytimes.com/2026/08/24/opini…

At a time when answers are easier to get than ever, asking the right questions matters even more. At Convocation, USC President @BeongKim challenged the university's newest Trojans to stay curious, question assumptions and follow their questions wherever they lead.✌️Watch here: uscne.ws/NSC-BSKV #WelcomeTrojans

Summer may have been in full swing, but USC undergraduate Trojans were hard at work in research labs across campus. From developing tiny sensors that detect the body’s chemical messengers to studying microbiomes, these student researchers are helping advance discoveries across a wide range of disciplines. Meet the undergraduate researchers here: uscne.ws/usr

Excited to see USC researchers participating in this ambitious cross-sector effort to accelerate scientific discovery with AI. Let's go!
USC faculty are leading the future of AI-powered scientific discovery. Six projects involving USC researchers, including three USC-led efforts, have received @ENERGY Genesis Mission awards to advance breakthroughs in energy, manufacturing and technology. Read about the projects: uscne.ws/GMA

Whether you agree with all, some, or none of it, this 104-page report is worthy of discussion and debate. One noteworthy idea: developing industry Ph.D.s that connect rigorous doctoral training with frontier work in companies and national labs. USC’s deep industry partnerships make this an interesting model to explore.
In response to @POTUS's call for a revival of America's scientific enterprise, today I’m releasing Science: A New Golden Age. This report is a blueprint for renewing American scientific leadership for the 21st century.
