We are excited to partner with the University Visitor Center to increase our options for  package add-ons! With the inclusion of these add-ons, you will extend your outreach to over 30,000 prospective students and families who interact with the Visitor Center each year. While the Visitor Center will see 35,000 to 40,000 visitors annually, approximately 17% of the traffic to the Visitor Center will enroll at USC and make it their home for four years.  Advertising options through the Visitor Center are best suited for those who offer services for temporary visitors (e.g. Hotels, restaurants, retail, entertainment). Package add-ons cannot be purchased individually and must be associated with a pre-existing level.

• Business information in University Ambassador training materials: $150
• Business name listed on the Visitor Center website: $150
• Opportunity to speak to University Ambassador's during their training: $250

The Visitor Center Discount Bundle (all six package add-ons): $1,700

If our levels do not currently accommodate the amount of information you would like to share with incoming students and families, package add-ons are a great option to personalize your partnership. Package add-ons cannot be purchased individually and must be associated with a pre-existing level.
