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

We look forward to meeting you!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the San Deigo Trojan Network and do I need to become a member?

As a member of the USC Alumni Association, you’re already part of the Regional Trojan Networks! Regional Trojan Networks are groups of localized alumni leaders who build USC networks locally, and everyone is welcome to participate in the events and programs.  

I just moved to San Diego. How can I get information about what’s happening?

As an alum, you’ll automatically receive email information about upcoming events and opportunities to connect with San Diego Trojans! All you have to do is make sure your address is up-to-date in the FightOnline alumni portal.

In Spring 2026, the USC Alumni Association launched networks in the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Colorado, Portland, New York, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Additional networks will be launched in late 2026 in areas including Atlanta, Boston, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Miami, Texas, Philadelphia and Phoenix!
