Who we are
Spark SC is a student organization at the University of Southern California whose purpose is to inspire students of all backgrounds to pursue entrepreneurship.
What we care about
We believe in showing students at USC that creativity and entrepreneurship is for everyone, whether it would be building a startup, creating art, starting a non-profit, or launching a movement.
Our mindset
We are driven by a framework for entrepreneurial-thinking that supports students taking initiative outside of the classroom. We believe students can go above and beyond, and take their own course to create amazing things.
