Explore USC Hospitality
There’s no better way to get to know campus than by exploring where you’ll eat, study, and connect all year long.
From August 27 through September 3, visit participating USC Hospitality locations, complete a few simple challenges, take your selfies and make your way through the hunt. All participants are eligible to receive a giveaway at the Grand Finale, and participants who complete every task will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing for an illy coffee maker.
