Here are the Midwest Projects — and I’ll be at the one in Denver

I have been referred to as a “Super Trojan”, having completed my undergrad in the 1990s, and now 25 years later returning to get my Master’s Degree in Urban Planning at USC Price. I am excited to attend commencement in May, and look forward to completing my Master's in August. But in reality, I believe what makes us Super Trojans is our willingness to show up, help out, and stay connected with our incredible community. Here is our opportunity to do just that — at the annual Day of SCervice, on March 12. Here is the Midwest schedule of events which includes events in Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas.

The USC Alumni Day of SCervice

The USC Alumni Day of SCervice is an opportunity for alumni, family, and friends to participate in local service projects, organized by our alumni volunteers and affiliated groups worldwide.

We look forward to Trojans coming together in the Midwest, either in-person (as health guidelines allow) or virtually, to make a positive difference in their communities on the USC Alumni Day of SCervice on March 12, 2022.
