Schools and universities across the state, including USC, participated in the Great California ShakeOut Thursday morning.
The university sent out an e-mail encouraging all students and staff at USC locations to "drop, cover, and hold-on at exactly 10:17 a.m. for 60 seconds."
After the drill, participants were encouraged to review earthquake safety procedures for their office, home, or classroom.
