Spring 2026 Daily Trojan Photos of the Semester

As my third semester as the Daily Trojan’s Photo editor comes to a close, I can confidently say that the work of the Daily Trojan’s Photo staff never fails to amaze me. Every semester, they demonstrate unwavering dedication and work with tireless diligence, capturing moments around USC in real time and then spending countless, unseen hours afterward refining and perfecting each photograph.

However, I am slightly disappointed. This marks my final time writing for this amazing student organization, working alongside its extremely talented and kind-hearted people, and leading its award-winning Photo section.

With this in mind, it is my hope that, going forward, the work of the Daily Trojan’s Photo section is not only appreciated by the USC community, but that the many hours behind the scenes invested by its photographers are recognized, and that their efforts are felt in the quality of the work they deliver. It has truly been a privilege to be part of the Daily Trojan photographers’ journeys and to support their commitment to telling the stories that unfold constantly around the University.

That being said, without further ado, I am proud to present the Daily Trojan’s Spring 2026 photos of the semester.
