“A USC sociology, history or dance major may not be attuned to the discipline of quantum computing, but the university’s School of Advanced Computing will help bring computing instruction to all students.” — Los Angeles Times (May 2023)

 

 

“The world needs engineers and computer scientists to solve the Grand Challenges we face. The new School of Advanced Computing will tackle this goal by developing reimagined engineering curricula that also emphasize the ethics of technology in our fast-changing world.” — Yannis C. Yortsos, Dean, USC Viterbi School of Engineering

 

 

“Interdisciplinary work at the School of Advanced Computing may further individualized care, treatment, and the prevention of dance injuries for all ages, levels and abilities.” — Margo K. Apostolos, professor, USC Kaufman School of Dance; co-director/co-founder of the Cedars-Sinai/USC Glorya Kaufman Dance Medicine Center

 

 

“The establishing of the School of Advanced Computing shows USC’s commitment to interdisciplinary research, which comes as the need for AI for social good continues to grow.” — Leslie Moreno, USC Viterbi student and senior adviser and former president of CAIS ++, the student branch of the USC Center for AI in Society (CAIS)

 

 

“We want to develop a digital backbone across USC that touches every student and every graduate. So when they go out into the world, they understand what computing is.” — Ishwar Puri, USC senior vice president of research and innovation

 

 

“The School of Advanced Computing provides the critical infrastructure needed to design and test future models of health care that will depend on AI and quantum solutions, but will also require clinical, cybersecurity, legislative, regulatory privacy, equity, economic and sustainability experts. Having these experts under one roof is a brilliant and worthwhile undertaking.” — Leslie Saxon, professor of medicine, Keck School of Medicine of USC; executive director, USC Center for Body Computing

 

 

“I want every student who comes through our programs, whether they are in science, business, the humanities or the arts, to have a solid grounding in technology and the ethics of the work that they do. We will integrate digital literacy across disciplines to create responsible leaders for the workforce of the future.” — Carol L. Folt, USC president

 

 

“AI has been a transformative force across various industries, but its full potential in business is just beginning to unfold. Future business leaders need to bridge the gap between technical breakthroughs and real-world applications, and the collaboration between USC Marshall and the School of Advanced Computing will facilitate this.” — Kimon Drakopoulos, associate professor of data sciences and operations, USC Marshall School of Business
