As USC Creed Week begins, the promotion of social justice, open-mindedness and the idea of sacrificing to help others are reflected in various events.
Through events such as "Birdcage," which is being held tonight at 8 p.m., and "CJC with Dance Marathon dancers," which is being held on Wednesday, people such as Cassidy Evans are trying to promote the Carolinian Creed.
"[The Carolinian Creed] is an idea that sets us apart from other universities," Evans said.
Adam Berrios, a second-year sports and entertainment management student, said the creed helps students live well.
"The Creed is a great standard for USC students to follow and it holds each student accountable for their actions," Berrios said.
Berrios also said that while the creed is an excellent set of ideals for Carolinians to follow, it has little impact on many students' lives.
"People are going to do what they want to do," Berrios said.
He also felt the creed is not advertised well enough for students to truly understand the meaning of its values.
