The Writing Center
The USC Writing Center’s mission is to empower students, faculty, and staff by supporting their development of writing and critical thinking skills. The Writing Center pursues its mission through individual consultations, in-class workshops, and a large roster of handouts and instructional videos. Consultants work with writers at every skill level and every stage of the process, from interpreting an assignment to producing a final draft. All of the Writing Center’s services are free.
The USC Writing Center provides free, individualized feedback on any kind of writing to current USC students, faculty, and staff. They can help with everything from essays to cover letters to scholarship applications.
Campus Support and Intervention
The Office of Campus Support & Intervention (CSI) is where members of the Trojan community go to seek support for themselves, for others, and for the community. We are a one-stop shop for care and support, troubleshooting, and advocacy.
Students, faculty, and staff may encounter challenges that disrupt their ability to succeed and meet their goals. CSI is dedicated to helping individuals get back on track by providing options and pathways for success.
Staff in CSI connect with members of the USC community when they need support in achieving their academic, professional, or personal goals. Our consultations, available in person, via Zoom, or over the phone, allow us to understand each individual’s situation so we can offer troubleshooting, support, guidance, and connections to relevant campus and community resources.
