About Us

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. Part of the Office of the Provost, the Emeriti Center offers most of its services and programs free of charge and is open to campus and community. We are an inclusive community celebrating our diverse population and offer many intergenerational learning programs throughout the year.

Mission & Vision

The USC Emeriti Center supports USC faculty and staff in living healthy and purposeful lives throughout their lifecycle by providing opportunities for service, teaching and research.

Our inclusive Center is the intergenerational bridge across the university employee lifespan. We partner with USC schools for multidisciplinary, multigenerational and multicultural initiatives benefitting the university community and beyond. Through this model, we support USC faculty research and teaching while engaging USC students in experiential learning and practice outside the classroom.
