Class of 1979

Can You Believe It’s Been 45 Years?!

This fall, we are excited to invite the undergraduate Class of 1979 back to campus to reconnect, reminisce, and forge new connections that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to celebrate this special USC milestone alongside the classes of: 1974, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019!

Our 2024 Reunion celebration is set to take place this fall in conjunction with USC Homecoming and Alumni Weekend on November 14-16, 2024. Program details and more information will be added to the website as they are finalized. We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus this fall!

45th Reunion Committee

A Message from Your Class of 1979 Reunion Chair

We look forward to reconnecting with many old friends from the Class of ’79 at our 45th reunion in November. We all made many memories during our time on campus, from winning football games to enjoying the then brand-new University Village (now the much-swankier USC Village). Come home to watch us beat Nebraska and to enjoy the festivities while catching up with classmates. It will be a wonderful time celebrating what it means to be a Trojan!

Two main highlights will be our 1979 Class Gathering at the bar inside Moreton Fig on campus on Friday evening and the USC Alumni Association Homecoming tailgate on Saturday in Alumni Park. (Tailgate registration is open now; class gathering registration will open in August.)

Fight On!
