“Even the most innovative social actors operate within silos and make plans for the short-term. The Southern California Symposium, an executive education program in Social Innovation, breaks through those limitations.
We bring together unlikely combinations of committed individuals
to contemplate long-term solutions to long-term challenges.”
Now in its second year, USC’s Price Center for Social Innovation brings together 20 to 25 local leaders—from public service, politics, business, the arts, philanthropy, and NGOs—to create solutions to the region’s most pressing challenges.
Bringing their diverse experience to bear on the issues they grapple with in their civic and professional lives, Symposium participants collaborate over four weekend sessions with USC faculty, local and national policy makers and social innovators to learn and apply new skills and strategies. Upon successful completion of the Symposium, participants receive an
Executive Education Certificate in Social Innovation from USC and become part of a powerful, collaborative cadre of local changemakers.
