We came here to find our place in the world and to let the world find us.

To grow our minds, spirits, and our networks.
To listen and learn; to understand and be understood.
To be somewhere we belong that belongs to us.

We Are SC.

Fight On: We Are SC Stories

Every Trojan has their reasons that drew them to the Trojan Family. The University of Southern California is a rich tapestry of inspiring individuals, each with a triumphant story to share. Whether the story is about a student, a faculty member, a staff member or an alum, they all have one thing in common: being a part of the Trojan Family means that you are part of something larger than yourself.
