About Us

The Office of Diversity and Strategic Initiatives at Viterbi is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment within the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. We collaborate closely with the Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at Viterbi to cultivate a culture that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion, where individuals from diverse backgrounds feel valued, supported, and empowered. We recognize the importance of creating spaces where employees can connect with others.

Viterbi ERGs strategically partner with the Viterbi Office of Diversity & Strategic Initiatives to:

  • Foster a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Build community.
  • Provide leadership opportunities for employees.

Together, we are committed to building a supportive community. Working collaboratively, we can create a more inclusive and equitable environment where every member of the Viterbi community feels empowered and can succeed and flourish.
