Purpose
Society 53 is the governing and programming board of SAS, responsible for events that bring current students and alumni together. Members of Society 53 also serve as USCAA student ambassadors and attend signature alumni events throughout the year.

Student Alumni Society Events
Trojan SCuppers
Trojan SCuppers provide many great opportunities for students, alumni, parents and friends to connect, share stories and celebrate USC’s traditions and its transformation into a world-renowned private research institution. Alumni SCupper hosts provide dinner for 10-12 current USC students in local restaurants, campus locations or other creative spaces.
Networking Nights
Networking Nights are a fun and exciting way for students to practice valuable networking skills, in person, with alumni leaders from a variety of industries. These skills and contacts are of great value to those seeking to refine their personal brands and build a list of professional references.
Life Workshops
These workshops focus on presenting about topics and trends that interest current students. They offer a great opportunity for students: to learn how to get into working various fields; to proactively prepare for finding the right job while still in school; and to achieve work-life balance.
