Listservs
The pandemic demonstrated that our listservs serve an important communications function, but it became clear that some messages went unopened. Effective October 1 2021, posting to the Price School faculty, staff, and adjunct listservs will be limited to members of the Price leadership team and their delegates for the dissemination of School-wide news and updates. The policy will impact the following listservs:
- Faculty: [email protected]
- Staff: [email protected]
- Faculty and staff: [email protected]
- Adjunct faculty: [email protected]
Price event announcements will continue to be included in a bi-weekly newsletter. Please send all event announcements to the Price Office of External Affairs.
Fulsome discussion is vital to our School culture and we need to avail ourselves of better tools to facilitate robust debate. To that end, Slack channels are available for faculty and staff to use for general Price discussions, announcements, and other communications.
Your Price email is automatically subscribed to the above listservs. The Price School IT team ([email protected]) will work with Yurri Hyun in Faculty Affairs and Gail Uyeda in Human Resources to ensure the listservs are up-to-date and functioning as needed. Please reach out to IT if you need technical support.
The Price School student listserv policy can be found here: https://priceschool.usc.edu/students/lists/. For questions about sending to the Student listservs, please contact David Horn, Manager of Enrollment Management in the Office of Student Affairs.

Event Scheduling and Planning
To submit a request for event support, please visit the Communications and Events Request Form. For additional information on upcoming Price School events, please contact the Office of Communication.
Any event involving food, alcohol, or parking must be registered with USC Auxiliary Services via their Event Catering & Parking webpage. If alcohol is present, it must be served by a University-approved vendor.
If you are removing furniture for an event, be sure to reserve a second space to store the furniture. Indoor furniture may not be stored outside overnight. Rentals and furniture delivery should be approved by the Facilities team. If you have furniture delivered or picked up, a faculty or staff member should be on-site to oversee the logistics.

- No advanced technology present in the room
- No use of stoves or heated cooking indoors
- Plastic coverings on table surfaces and underneath on the floors

- Tablecloths
- Small quantities of promotional items such as pens, lanyards, etc.
In addition, the School has some event-related items stored under the Lewis Hall east stairwell:
