The Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics motivates USC students to become active in the world of politics and encourages public officials to participate in the daily life on campus. For more information, go to http://college.usc.edu/unruh.

Boasting some of the top journalists in America, POLITICO focuses on three arenas in national politics: We will focus on three arenas: (1) Congress and the constant flow of agendas, personalities and power struggles that define daily life on Capitol Hill; (2) the historic 2008 presidential campaign; and (3) lobbying and advocacy, a part of the capital economy undergoing rapid growth and change. It is a business alive with interesting and influential characters whose impact is dimly understood and insufficiently covered. For more information, go to http://www.politico.com/.
