Take part in one of our most meaningful traditions—a time when we come together to mark the end of one chapter and the start of the next for our outstanding graduates!

This year we begin a new tradition—a rite of passage to welcome new graduates into our Black Alumni Family.

The USC Black Trojan Confirmation Celebration for graduating students serves as a bookend to the Welcome Pinning & Affirmation Ceremony for incoming undergraduate and graduate students. Black alumni, faculty and staff will serve as the stewards of the outer circle as we symbolically pass the torch to the Class of 2023, members of the next generation of Black Trojans. It provides an opportunity to congratulate Black graduates and welcome them into USC’s close-knit Black alumni network.

We will commemorate the occasion by bestowing the graduates with Kente cords, symbolizing our culture, the BAA, and a commitment to becoming contributing members of society. Join us for breakfast and an unforgettable morning as we celebrate community, academic excellence and the achievements of our new grads. Space is limited, so register today!
