ABOUT THE USC JEWISH
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
ABOUT THE USC
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The USC JAA is a community that connects thousands
of Jewish Trojans to Jewish life on campus, to each
other, and to the larger Trojan Family network. USC
JAA Members have opportunities to support Jewish
student life at USC while celebrating our heritage
as Jewish Trojans.
The USC Alumni Association's mission is to support the
overall advancement of the University of Southern
California by engaging all alumni for life, building a
culture of philanthropy among the Trojan Family, and
being the representative voice for all USC alumni.
With more than 300,000 members worldwide, the USC
Alumni Association supports more than 100 affiliated
alumni clubs, alumnae support groups, multicultural
and generational alumni communities, and partners
with the JAA on selected JAA programs.
As USC has ascended to the #11 most popular school
for Jewish students in the nation, we are proud of
the contributions of generations of Trojan alumni
who make up the Jewish Trojan Family.
Celebrating the
JAA contributions support Jewish life on campus
through programs offered by USC Hillel. Contact us
if you would like your JAA support to fund programs
offered by Chabad at USC.
