Class of 1980
Can You Believe It’s Been 45 Years?!
This fall, we are excited to invite the undergraduate Class of 1980 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: 1970, 1975, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020!
Our 2025 Reunion celebration is set to take place November 13-15 in conjunction with USC Homecoming and Alumni Weekend. 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!
A Message From Your Reunion Committee
Class of 1980 — we look forward to welcoming you back to campus to celebrate our 45th reunion!
So much has changed since graduation – we all have amazing stories to tell, adventures lived, future plans, and more.
Think about it… We live in a storytelling world, where social media, smartphones, and the ability to create instant videos and photos capture the moment. Gone are the days of mailing out photos for print sharing, and writing letters, faxes, or other forms of snail mail to share our excitement of reuniting with our USC friends and family. While technology has advanced our ability to share our stories, now, more than ever, we enjoy the beauty of person-to-person connections. Nothing is better than the human connection in this post-COVID world, where we can laugh with old friends, meet new ones, and share our stories up close and in person. No one cares if you have a few extra pounds or have a little less hair. Bring your authentic self to the reunion party and have a great time. You never know who you will reconnect with as part of your USC Story.
Let’s unite to make sure the Class of 1980 shows up in force to lead the way for Alumni Weekend. Please join us and your classmates in the excitement of coming back to campus, seeing longtime friends, renewing lost friendships and being part of the Trojan Family.
As we gather once again for Alumni Weekend, we feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Grateful for the friendships, the memories and the foundation USC gave us. It’s a joy to welcome you back to campus and relive some of those unforgettable days.
We can’t wait to see you. Fight On!
