Tap Into Your Trojan Network!

Trojan Connects, USC’s Alumni Career Network, brings Trojans together to build meaningful professional connections across industries, regions and career stages.

Originally launched in 2025 as a global alumni networking week, Trojan Connects has evolved into a global professional community offering year-round career events – hosted by Trojans, for Trojans.

Whether you’re exploring a new industry, growing your professional network or sharing your expertise, Trojan Connects makes it easy to tap into the Trojan network.

Host a Trojan Connect

Interested in hosting a career event through Trojan Connects? USC alumni, faculty, and staff are eligible to host a Trojan Connect in one of two formats:

1. Host a Career Webinar
Share your industry expertise through a virtual presentation, panel discussion or workshop.

2. Host a Career Meetup
Bring Trojans together for an informal networking event centered on a shared industry, profession or career interest.

We require all proposals to be submitted at least six weeks prior to your event. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis and selected based on topic, proposal quality, program alignment and calendar availability.
