The USC Well-being Collective brings together academic and administrative partners and student groups to promote student well-being across multiple campus sectors.
Any USC academic school, administrative unit, or recognized student organization (RSO) that demonstrates an interest in shared learning and commitment to the common agenda. Individuals cannot participate as a representative for themself (e.g. individual faculty, parent, student, etc.). However, individuals can become the designated representative for an academic school, administrative unit, or RSO.
