The New York Trojan Network brings together USC alumni, parents and friends from the New York 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 New York Trojan Network provides all of these opportunities and more — right in your own backyard.
