Trojan Pride

I’ve never been prouder to be a USC alumnus. My degrees are much more valuable today than they ever were. The campus is beautiful. I love showing the campus off to friends who are visiting from different places.

Staying Connected

In Washington, D.C., my core group of friends were fellow Trojans. We hadn’t known each other on campus, but I met them through the USC network. Over time, we became each other’s support system, family and home away from home. This experience showed me how powerful our Trojan Family is. No matter the distance from Los Angeles, you can always find Trojans who are eager to connect with and support one another.

USC has made a profound and lasting impact on my life, both personally and professionally. As a second-generation Latina and granddaughter of a Mexican immigrant farmworker, I am forever grateful for the many opportunities our beloved university has provided me.
