Message from the USC Alumni AssociationCharting Our Course for Another Century!

During this centennial anniversary year, we have celebrated the great progress we’ve made this past century, as well as all the connections that exist within our Trojan Family. We are also excited to take this opportunity to reflect on the direction of the USC Alumni Association, as we chart our future and define the impact we want to have through the development of a new strategic plan. We invite you to find out more about the Alumni Association’s exciting journey ahead.

To ensure that this plan is in alignment with the needs of you and your fellow alums, we have been reaching out to you for feedback. Last spring, we conducted an all-alumni survey; more recently, we called for your further input regarding our Transition Task Force. We are pleased to announce that the search for the next person to helm the USC Alumni Association—and be the voice of our 480,000+ alumni worldwide—is underway.

Also underway is our USC Alumni Association listening tour. In addition to meeting with campus partners and school leaders, we are visiting with volunteer leaders across the alumni association—from our network boards to our age-based groups to our affinity organizations. We will be visiting several cities throughout the country, to hear from volunteers past and present, as we connect with nearly 70 groups representing thousands of alumni.

We believe that open, constructive dialogue is essential for building a solid foundation for our next 100 years, and we’re already off to a great start. We just launched into March with a wildly successful USC Women’s Conference that welcomed hundreds of USC alumnae and friends to the University Park Campus. And we’re looking forward to our USC Alumni Day of SCervice on March 23, when Trojans across the country and around the world will pitch in at hometown community service projects.

Thank you, and Fight On!
