Elizabeth A. Graddy,
Executive Vice Provost

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the University of Southern California. As a new member of the USC faculty, you join a vibrant community of scholars, researchers, artists and educators who create a strong foundation for academic excellence.

Our faculty are critical to the vitality of this great university, and we have made every effort to build a faculty of exceptional talent and diverse perspectives.  We are proud to have you here and are dedicated to affording you every opportunity to achieve your academic goals.  I urge you to take advantage of the multiple resources available at USC, to find innovative ways to collaborate across disciplines, and to provide our students with an education that equips them to face a variety of global concerns.

This site is designed to augment your own school/department’s orientation and the Human Resources onboarding process, providing additional information to help you get settled and direct you to key university resources and benefits. Your vice dean, department chair or a representative from your school’s faculty affairs office are best able to help you with any specific work-related questions, but you can also feel free to reach out and connect with me via email at vpafa@usc.edu at any time.
