Dear Price Community: 

As we celebrate the Class of 2020 this week, I know many are wondering when we will be able to welcome students and colleagues back to our vibrant campus environment. While there is no easy answer, there is a path forward.   USC’s Project Restart is now underway and offers a strategic plan for restarting campus life. I also would like to share some updates thatpertain to the Price School.  

  • Dana Goldman, Jason Doctor, LaVonna Lewis, and I are serving on University-wide working groups and subcommittees that are tasked with envisioning how we can return to each element of university life. Please visit the Project Restart website to view the full working group teams.
  • Internally, I have been working with Price leadership to assess priorities and needs for the safe return of the Price community. We are working closely with academic affairs, student services, facilities, HR, IT, and communications to provide training for faculty and prepare for offering as many classes as needed online in the fall. 
  • We are also working to create plans for reopening Price’s physical environments for research, education, and staff and faculty offices. 

  • In addition, we are planning necessary upgrades in classroom technology and capabilities to ensure our classrooms have a webcam, microphone, and other equipment needed to engage an in-person and virtual audience.

While we wait for more direction from the University, I am very pleased with the progress we are making. I would like to thank everyone involved in this process and ask for your continued patience as our plans take shape.   While COVID-19 continues to alter our normal processes and operations, it hasn’t changed our commitment to upholding an exceptional learning and working environment. We look forward to engaging with all of you over the coming weeks, and sharing more information once it’s available. Sincerely,

New - Transparent Jack Signature
