About USC OWN IT
USC OWN IT is a values-driven student organization based at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA, committed to empowering female and non-binary leaders through authentic community building and inclusive representation. Founded on the belief that diverse perspectives strengthen leadership, the organization creates spaces where students can connect with established professionals and each other while celebrating the unique intersections of their identities and experiences.
At its core, USC OWN IT operates from six foundational values that guide every decision and initiative. The organization prioritizes empowerment by fostering a supportive environment where women and non-binary individuals from all backgrounds feel encouraged to pursue their ambitions. Through representation, the organization ensures that its executive board, speakers, and overall brand identity reflect the diverse community it serves, actively working to address internal blindspots and expand recruitment efforts across campus.
Transparency and open dialogue form the backbone of USC OWN IT's community culture. The organization believes that honest communication and willingness to engage in difficult conversations build trust and strengthen connections among board members and summit participants. This commitment extends to allyship, where the organization actively listens to marginalized voices and supports underrepresented community members in solidarity.
The annual summit represents the culmination of intentional planning and collaborative effort, designed with care to provide equal access and valuable experiences for all involved. USC OWN IT views itself as part of a larger movement, continuously growing through partnerships and expanding its circle of influence at local and national levels. For students in Los Angeles seeking meaningful mentorship, authentic community, and opportunities to connect with leaders who understand the complexity of navigating identity and ambition, USC OWN IT offers a welcoming and transformative platform.
