One of the oldest traditions at USC is the USC Senior Gift, which started in 1906. Over the past 16 years, the USC Senior Gift has been revitalized through the strong efforts put forth by the Classes of 2008 through 2024. Participation has grown from one year to the next, showing each class’s dedication to improving USC for current and future generations. It is now time for the Class of 2025 to begin its class legacy and be written into a part of USC history!
Class of 2025 Senior Gift Ballot Options
USC Trojan Family L.A. Wildfire Relief Fund
The Class of 2025 Senior Gift would help support the USC Trojan Family L.A. Wildfire Relief Fund. The contributions will go directly to a USC student, faculty or staff member in need and will be put to immediate use as they recover in the face of tremendous loss caused by the outbreak of wildfires that burned across Los Angeles County. These fires have burned thousands of homes and have displaced more than 130,000 people, some of them Trojans. While the University Park and Health Science campuses are safe, many USC students, faculty and staff members have experienced life-changing setbacks.
USC Joint Educational Project Program Support
The Class of 2025 Senior Gift would help support the USC Joint Educational Project’s student leadership training seminar held every August in Palm Springs. This seminar equips students to design lesson plans, excel in mentoring and tutoring, collaborate with professors, foster relationships with school staff, lead classroom activities, and enhance leadership skills. This training seminar will help prepare the new student leaders to help serve over 10,000 individuals and work with more than 35 different partner organizations.
USC Mental Health Support Program
The Class of 2025 Senior Gift would create a mental health support fund that would subsidize essential services, ensuring all students can access support regardless of financial barriers.
USC Trojan Food Pantry
The Class of 2025 Senior Gift would expand the services that the USC Trojan Food Pantry provides to enrolled USC students. The USC Trojan Food Pantry offers fresh food, non-perishable items, toiletries, and academic supplies. The USC Trojan Food Pantry addresses food insecurity on campus and provides much needed temporary relief to those experiencing food emergencies.
Pickleball Sitting Area Dedication
The Class of 2025 Senior Gift would be recognized in a sitting area and green space in honor of the Class of 2025. The new sitting area and green space will continue to foster USC’s commitment to a positive and welcoming environment that encourages healthy lifestyles and campus involvement. This new space will provide a place for Trojans with similar interests to engage with one another and promote inclusivity and unity.
It’s up to each class member to help decide what best represents the legacy of the Class of 2025. Commemorate how much these past four years have meant by helping go above and beyond previous USC class records. Start the legacy today!
Our goal is to improve that participation rate and establish our legacy as USC’s most philanthropic class ever with a participation rate of 97 percent.
