Each year, the USC Alumni Leadership Conference brings together volunteer leaders from across the university and around the world, including representatives from regional alumni organizations, alumnae groups, industry networks, affinity programs, age-based groups, the USC Alumni Association Board of Governors, USC school alumni boards and USC Athletics support groups.
The 2018 conference will include exclusive sessions with USC President C. L. Max Nikias, Provost Michael Quick and university leaders, as well as with current students, who will give insight into student life at USC today.
