In our 10th year at Bovard College, for we celebrate our namesake, Emma Bovard. She was one of the first students to enroll at USC after its founding in 1880, and she returned as its first lady from 1903 to 1921, when her husband George Finley Bovard served as university president. Emma Bovard recognized diversity as a powerful force for good, championed women’s rights, and established philanthropic initiatives still in place today. Her commitment to access and opportunity lives on through the Bovard College mission.

USC's registered student chapter of the HRMA gives Bovard College students the opportunity to join meaningful conversations, participate in industry events and network with peers and professionals nationwide. To get involved, join their next event here: https://linktr.ee/uschrma
