The University of Southern California's Office of Religious & Spiritual Life began in 1996 under the direction of Rabbi Susan Laemmle, Dean Emeritus. Since that time, the Office has grown to over 100 spiritual and religious organizations encompassing the many traditions of the world. The ORSL sponsors a variety of opportunities for exploring the spiritual dimensions of your life and learning. We can help you find a religious home base or form a new group, handle an ethical dilemma or research a paper topic. The Office sponsors campus programs with a moral, religious or spiritual focus. It co-sponsors events with other university units and partnerships of student religious groups. And we are there for the entire USC community in times of celebration and loss, to offer benedictions at university convocations and to help organize memorial services as needed.

This channel displays the diversity of our campus through speakers series and various events throughout the school year.
