Welcome to the Alumni Family!

Now they are about to embark on a journey beyond the Horseshoe gates. The USC Alumni Association supports our network of nearly 300,000 alumni worldwide — Leaders. World-changers. It’s your turn to leave your mark on USC and create a legacy that lasts. See below for all the ways we are celebrating you, the newest class of Gamecock alumni!
