The Austin Trojan Network brings together USC alumni, parents and friends from the Austin metro area to deepen their connection to the university and the Trojan Family. A board, led by co-chairs, works closely with a dedicated USCAA staff liaison to deliver high-impact career development experiences, host engaging events that celebrate Trojan pride and raise money for scholarships for local USC students.
Whether you’re looking to make valuable connections, volunteer your energy and expertise, support the next generation of Trojans, attend events or make new friends, the Austin Trojan Network provides all of these opportunities and more — right in your own backyard.
We look forward to meeting you!

Howdy, Austin Trojans!
We’re Michael Montoya and Eddie Arámbula, and we’re excited to serve as the inaugural co-chairs of the Austin Trojan Network!
As we launch this new chapter of the Trojan Family in Central Texas, our vision is to create a welcoming and inclusive community where alumni from all backgrounds, generations and experiences can connect, contribute and thrive.
The strength of our Trojan Family comes from both our shared USC experience and the diverse journeys, perspectives and talents we bring together. As we establish the Austin Trojan Network, we hope to foster meaningful relationships, celebrate our stories, and create opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Most importantly, this network belongs to all of us. We look forward to hearing your ideas, building new traditions and creating a vibrant Trojan community that reflects the spirit of Austin and Central Texas.
Fight On!
