The Colorado Trojan Network brings together USC alumni, parents and friends from the Colorado 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 Colorado Trojan Network provides all of these opportunities and more — right in your own backyard.
We look forward to meeting you!

Hey, Colorado Trojans!
We’re Andrew Peterson and John Young, and we’re honored to serve as your Colorado Trojan Network co-chairs.
Being part of USC means belonging to a network defined by ambition, generosity and a genuine commitment to showing up for one another. It’s a reminder that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves — something that continues to grow, evolve and make an impact far beyond campus.
Our goal is to engage alumni in ideas that expand our network beyond traditional events, working to build a community where every alum feels a sense of belonging and purpose — and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned!
Fight On!
