Dear USC Parents:

The USC Parents Association exists to help support the parents of current students. If you have a student at USC, you automatically are a member – and, your membership is free!
The Association is governed by the Parents Council, which works to provide programs and events that strengthen the bond between you, the University, and your student. No matter what school you might have attended, as the parent of a current student, you are a member of the Trojan Family. The Association’s goals are to help make you comfortable as a family member and ensure your experience during this time is rewarding and fun.

Many of the programs sponsored by the Association are scheduled around major University events so that you can visit your student and meet new friends at the same time. A variety of fun opportunities in which to participate or volunteer to assist include: Trojan Parents Weekend; Homecoming; new student orientations; and, Move-In Day events. The Association also offers events during the school year such as a Theater School production that showcases student talent and a Parents Reception at a Trojan Basketball game at the beautiful Galen Center.

The Association is affiliated with the Office for Parents Programs – a high quality program that is nationally recognized. The program is staffed by highly knowledgeable and dedicated professionals. In conjunction with the Parents Council, they are here to make your experience as a Trojan Parent remarkable. If you have questions about the University, we encourage you to contact the Office for Parent Programs.

As co-presidents of the Association, we are excited about the upcoming academic year. We pledge to represent the collective interests of all USC parents. Over several years as members of the Association, we have learned that our own experience at USC was simultaneously enriched by participating in parent events while our daughter Becky received the best education available anywhere in the world. We invite you to share that experience with us during the next year.

If you would like to contact us about the Association, you can e-mail us at rdunek@alumni.usc.edu.

Fight ON!
