People of USC

With 47,000 students and over 22,800 staff and faculty, so many people are always working together to make USC run. Every unique person who is a part of this University creates a sliver of what it is and is an essential cog in the machine. As you walk across campus, you pass a myriad of faces — most of them a fleeting sight in your day, people you will never really have a chance to interact with or get to know. With each passing face is a potential new classmate, colleague or friend.

Thousands of opportunities for connection are missed on a daily basis, so staff photographers Kayden-Harmony Greenstein, Maryam Rahimie and Zongyi Wang took a step to bring just a few of the faces of USC to the limelight in “The Weekly Frame: People of USC.”

From this “Weekly Frame,” I hope the connection and chance to explore the stories of the faces passing by can continue and encourage all members of the USC community to find their own people at USC, a new person who you can really connect with and get to know. Each person is a chance to meet one of the many new magical people who inhabit our campus.

Much like Anya, she crash landed here and just wants to hang out and make friends.
