Our mission is to foster entrepreneurial thought and action across communities of all backgrounds at USC. Our vision for USC is really simple: anyone with an idea should have the resources and support to make it a reality.
Our mission is paramount. It's the first thing we consider when starting new initiatives and the thing that we dedicate ourselves to when the work gets challenging. It's why we existβin fact, you can read more about how Spark got its start in 2015.
