Welcome
We are honored to welcome you back to campus for Reunion Weekend 2019 – a two-day celebration of Trojan Family ties that’s the ideal opportunity to reconnect with your classmates and fellow Trojans; rediscover what USC means to you and reunite for your Reunion!
This year, we are proud to welcome our undergraduate classes of 1969, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009 back to Troy for their 50th, 40th, 35th, 30th, 25th, 20th, 15th and 10th Reunions, respectively.
The Alumni Association is hard at work putting together a slate of fun and engaging activities that will give you the opportunity to design your own reunion adventure. So please join us to relive your USC memories, create new ones and celebrate with your class, family and friends.
We thank you for your support and unwavering commitment to USC and the Trojan Family – it’s because of you that our alma mater continues its impressive rise among the ranks of the world’s great research universities.
