This year’s graduation will also honor our esteemed alumni from the Classes of 1974 and 1999, celebrating them as our Gold and Silver classes, respectively. USC has graduated over 32,000 alumni who have embodied the spirit of our motto, “Beyond Excellence.” These individuals have carried forward our mission “…to transform ordinary people into extraordinary servants of God to humanity through a holistic tertiary educational experience.”
As USC approaches its centennial celebration in 2027, we reflect on a proud legacy of excellence in education. For nearly 100 years, USC has adhered to an educational philosophy that emphasizes the holistic development of the head, heart, and hand. This philosophy is built on the pillars of intellectual curiosity, moral integrity, cultural diversity, and spiritual nurture.
We invite all USC alumni, friends, and family to join us in celebrating the Class of 2024 as they embark on their journey to make a positive impact on the world.
