Three years ago, USC and The Conversation launched a partnership university-wide to promote research-based commentaries by professors. Working together, here’s what we’ve accomplished:

• 72 USC faculty contributed
• 200 commentaries published
• 7.5 million people reached
• Washington Post, CNN, Houston Chronicle, Smithsonian Magazine, PBS News Hour, Gizmodo, U.S. News and World Report and others.

All USC researchers are invited to a workshop on February 23 to discuss how to turn research into commentary to share with the world via The Conversation, a communications platform that gives you priority to place articles in the news media.

Speakers: 

• Beth Shuster, Office of the Provost
• Gary Polakovic, USC Central Communications
• Maggie Villiger, Senior Editor at The Conversation
• Eric Zack, The Conversation
• Anita Sengupta, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
• Daryl Davies, USC School of Pharmacy

This event is sponsored by USC Central Communications, USC Provost and USC Center for Excellence in Research. Contact usccer@usc.edu with any questions.

Join the USC Office of Research on Twitter, Slack and YouTube.
