In keeping with tradition, USC President Carol L. Folt treated faculty and staff of the Health Sciences Campus to a holiday breakfast reception complete with a photo booth, candy buffet and popular Christmas music.

Held on the Broad Lawn, the event provided employees with the opportunity to take a break and bond with their colleagues. Attendees packed the area as they enjoyed fresh pastries, coffee, fruit and quiche made with chorizo, peppers, chips and salsa.

The event also offered to-go packaging for frontline workers who needed to return to their shifts in a hurry.

As Keck Medicine employees and other USC staff partook of the catered brunch, Folt stopped by their tables to wish them happy holidays, take photos with them and thank them for their hard work over the past year. Marty Sargeant, CEO of Keck Medical Center, was also present to enjoy the festivities and thank staff members for their contributions.
