A Guide to Life at USC as an LGBT+ Student
By: Adriana Bernal Martinez ‘20
When coming to college, we’re eager to find our people. People we share interests with, and most importantly, people that will accept us. Although USC takes pride (pun intended) in calling itself one of the most LGBT-friendly campuses in the nation, it’s not merely because of the student body’s progressive mindset. It’s because of its bountiful resources for LGBT+ students. USC’s LGBT Resource Center is open to the public every weekday, ready for you to come visit whenever. Located in the second floor of the Student Union Building with plenty of resourceful assets for USC students to take advantage of, here is just a little bit of what the LGBT Resource Center has to offer.

Best USC Electives This Spring

If you’re anything like me, you are pretty pumped to have access to the Spring 2017 schedule of courses. There’s just so much potential and so many courses to choose from; my roommate and I were literally counting down the days before its release two weeks ago. Even if you’re not quite on our level of excitement, I want to make sure you’re aware of the amazing 2-unit courses available to you, regardless of your major. The Courses of Interest page conveniently details courses chosen by the designated departments for students who are not majoring in that particular subject but who might find them enjoyable and beneficial. Nothing like being well-rounded and multi-interested, am I right?

Feminist Media Festival
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
USC WCA (Women of Cinematic Arts) launched the first annual feminist media festival on September 15th and I was thrilled to be there to witness the Opening Ceremonies. The goal of the festival is to produce art and connections, in the name of equality. It is, after all, widely known that the film industry has racial and gender biases. In general, there is a significant lack of diversity in terms of content creators as well as a related lack of representation on-screen of women and people of color, particularly in meaningful roles.

By: Jamie Wu ‘18
Hi there! First off, if you haven’t yet seen it, check out Jamie’s awesome video about non-need based financial aid.
