It is the strength required to bring about social…and economic change.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
USC Office of Business Opportunity (OBO) builds connections between businesses, the university, and the communities surrounding our campuses. Fostering economically inclusive ecosystems aligns with our priorities of value, excellence, and sustainability.
We’re addressing how to best anchor an inclusive equity lens into our institutional DNA. Business diversity is just one aspect and our intent is to ensure our holistic approach meets this very specific opportunity.
