Second Decade Society
About the Second Decade Society
Launched by the USC Alumni Association in February 2009, the Second Decade Society (SDS) offers a portfolio of programming and events which engages "second decade" USC alumni (undergraduates who earned a bachelor's degree between 1988-2001 and/or graduate alumni in their 30s and 40s).
Second Decade Society membership is automatic based on your undergraduate graduation year. If you received a graduate degree only, and would like to receive communications, you can sign up here. Select "Second Decade Society" from the Alumni Club drop-down menu.
