About Our Office

The Office of Orientation Programs supports the university’s mission by facilitating a smooth, informative, and engaging transition for new undergraduate and graduate students to the University of Southern California. Through a combination of administrative support, programming, and student engagement, we help incoming students connect to academic resources, support services, and campus life. Our team values collaboration, service excellence, and student-centered program delivery. As part of USC Student Life, Orientation Programs works in close partnership with colleagues across the university to promote student success and well-being.

Join the Orientation Leader Team

Each year, many students apply to represent the University of Southern California as an Orientation Leader. A summer on our team is a unique experience to foster leadership skills while supporting new Trojans and helping them find their place at USC.
