USC Schools as D&D Classes
By: Antonia Le ‘22
Even though we’re all in college now, studying our lives away and striving for a future where we’re all serious adults, we all wanted to be heroes as little kids. We wanted to go on adventures, slay dragons, and maybe wreak a little havoc on the world. If higher education hasn’t stomped the adventurer’s spirit out of you yet, you’ve probably heard of Dungeons and Dragons, a world-famous tabletop roleplaying game that’s spawned popular web series, podcasts, and memes (yes, I’m one hundred talking about the moral alignment charts on USC’s meme Facebook group). As a result, you probably know what alignment you are. But do you know what class you are? If you’ve ever wondered what kind of hero you’d be in another world, read on as I try to assign every school at USC a D&D class.
SCA’s Queer Cut Hosts ‘When We Rise’ Prescreening
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
Last Tuesday, USC’s School of Cinematic Arts aired a pre-screening of ABC’s new miniseries, “When We Rise,” which officially premieres next week on February 27. Queer Cut, the LGBTQA Student Association of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, hosted the event, which my friend and I were very excited to attend. All SC students, faculty, and guests had the opportunity to attend, but if you missed it, I highly encourage you to watch when it airs on Monday. If the rest of this post doesn’t compel you, then maybe the trailer will. ABC provided feedback forms for those in attendance to fill out after the screening. Fortunately, one of the co-presidents of Queer Cut reminded everyone that leaving sections of the form blank was absolutely fine, as ABC seemed to view gender as a binary concept. The feedback forms were definitely not made with this specific screening in mind.
