Class of 1996 – 20th Reunion

Dear Fellow Class of 1996 Trojans,

Can you believe that 20 years have flown by since we graduated from USC?

From the Los Angeles riots to the Northridge earthquake to USC celebrating its first Nobel Laureate faculty member (George Olah), events that occurred during our time at USC changed the face of the university and all of Southern California.

Yes, believe it or not, it’s been two decades since we graduated—one of those milestones that calls for an epic celebration! That’s why we’re thrilled to invite you to our upcoming 20th Class Reunion on November 4-5.

Our Class of 1996 20th Reunion Committee has been hard at work with USC Alumni Association staff, planning a memorable Reunion Weekend with lots of chances to catch up with classmates and meet new friends, plus all the excitement of USC Homecoming and football (USC vs. Oregon!). To learn more about events taking place over Reunion Weekend 2016, click here.

So “Register” today, join our Class of 1996 Facebook group and remember to invite your friends to join us so we can all celebrate Reunion Weekend 2016 together this November! Come see the awesome changes at USC and experience what remains the same: our Trojan traditions.

Fight On!
