The Office of Faculty Affairs provides the structure and support for faculty to excel in research and scholarship, creative work and effective teaching. Led by Vice Provost Beth Meyerowitz, the office oversees the university’s efforts to ensure that faculty receive the support and mentoring required to produce influential scholarly and creative work and to provide students challenging educational opportunities in and out of the classroom. The office also works with USC schools to ensure that distinguished faculty members who produce consequential work are recognized by their disciplines.
