The University of Southern California recognizes graduating students whose non-academic contributions have significantly enriched the quality of life at USC. These students exemplify the USC Unifying Values and surpass expectations through their leadership, volunteer work, and community engagement above and beyond their work in the classroom. While their realms of influence are diverse, they all share a commitment to bettering their university, the city of Los Angeles, and the world.

USC Student Life celebrates these achievements with the annual Student Recognition Awards.
