USC Visions and Voices
Visions and Voices is a university-wide arts and humanities initiative that is unparalleled in higher education. Established in fall 2006, our program fulfills the goals set forth in USC’s strategic plan; communicates USC’s core values to students; and affirms the human spirit. Highlighting USC’s excellence in the arts and humanities, the initiative provides an inspiring and provocative experience for all students, regardless of their major or class level, and challenges them to expand their perspectives and become world-class citizens who will eagerly make a positive impact throughout the world.
Emphasizing the university’s commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, the initiative features a spectacular array of events conceived and organized by faculty and schools throughout the university. With presentations by critically acclaimed artists and distinguished speakers, the series features theatrical productions, music and dance performances, film screenings, lectures and workshops.
