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

Hey, Seattle Trojans!
We’re Heidi Bitterman and Sammi Phan, and we’re honored to serve as your Seattle Trojan Network co-chairs.
We’re committed to fostering a strong Trojan community in the PNW — a welcoming hub where alumni can connect, whether they’re seeking professional mentorship or looking for others who share their personal interests.
We’re excited to bring people together in meaningful ways, from professional panels and service projects to social gatherings that spark genuine conversations. We’re kicking things off with our Day of Service on March 21, followed by more happy hours — and this summer, we’re hosting “Pickleball & Putts: Trojan Summer Social” at the Washington Athletic Club. Stay tuned — we’re just getting started.
