The start of the spring semester is an exciting one for most USC freshmen. After spending the fall acclimating to USC — and spending winter break in relative boredom at home — the first week of spring is a chance to catch up with friends and begin a new semester with some hard lessons learned. […]

As a senior unwillingly graduating this May, I inevitably find myself reflecting on the past three and a half years. I am amazed by how much has changed during that time and by how much has not. Since I arrived at USC in 2012, the acceptance rate for freshmen has fallen nearly 10 percent, new […]

On Tuesday, Pat Haden gave a press conference in which he defended the hire of former head football coach Steve Sarkisian. “He was vetted.

In the wake of the shooting at Umpqua Community College, media coverage has sensationalized the deaths of nine students and a professor into a defamation of the mentally ill, unfairly portraying an entire group of people to avoid the intersecting issues of gun control, political dysfunction and racism.

January 13, 2015 1 Comment/in From the Editors, Opinion

Allow me to state the obvious: The media landscape is rapidly evolving. Though, for journalists, this evolution feels like the breaking news story that won’t quit. The Daily Trojan does not typically report on the state of the media — print or otherwise — because it’s simply not why we’re here. To discuss the challenges […]

USC is a university in a constant state of progress.This sentiment is perhaps best reflected in the various improvements to the University both physically — the building of the new Wallis Annenberg Hall, The Village construction — and academically with USC’s sustained rise to prominence as an elite international research university.
