Event Recap – Trojan Table

The USC Emeriti Center and retired USC faculty and staff invited all students to Trojan Table, a free student dinner on April 29, 2022. This was our first time hosting an intergenerational dinner since Covid-19. About 150 students from ten USC schools enjoyed a casual meal with lots of warm welcomes and fun conversation. A good time was had by all and we look forward to sponsoring Trojan Table almost every month during the school year beginning in September.

Trojan Table is a fun and inclusive environment where USC Retired Faculty and Staff showed their support for student wellness, inclusion and caring.
