Colleagues For Life

We are

  • MULTIGENERATIONAL
  • MULTIDISCIPLINARY
  • MULTICULTURAL

Since its founding in 1978, the USC Emeriti Center has served the university’s retirees and pre-retirees in living healthy and purposeful lives by providing essential information, resources, services, advocacy, privileges, and support. As part of the Office of the Provost, the Emeriti Center offers most of its services and programs free of charge and is open to the campus community. In 2025, our services expanded, and now, faculty pre-retirement planning and support falls under the Emeriti Center umbrella.

We are an inclusive community celebrating our diverse population, and we offer many intergenerational learning programs throughout the year.

Pre-Retirement Planning

As you approach and begin retirement, the USC Emeriti Center is here to help. We have a wealth of information and ideas to share.

Pre-retirement consulting is available through the USC Emeriti Center; although this information is not a substitute for, nor does USC offer, legal, tax, or financial advice, we hope you will find it helpful, and invite you to contact us with any further questions.

For more information, please contact Debbie Jones to set up an appointment.
