Welcome!

We want to help our club and community members to grow into global leaders by improving their organizational and leadership skills and by attaining self awareness and cultural awareness by participating in a series of club meetings, seminars, conferences, and lectures. We have already organized two cultural exchange seminars involving 200 students from 15 different countries, and we have dozens of representatives and branches from different high schools and colleges in America and China. The USC chapter will be the headquarters of The Bridge Academy.
As USC is the HQ of the Bridge Academy, the Bridgers of the Trojan Chapter will receive the most resources from the club. The growth and well being of our members are our priorities. During our routine meetings, we will offer Bridgers examples of cultural inclusion by sharing experiences and engaging in team building activities with members from different cultures. (And, of course, snacks and dessert will be served!) Also, we will invite well-known speakers in the area of personal growth and various professional fields to talk with our members exclusively, so that their expertise can enlighten our members and foster self-awareness, self, a healthy career path, and goals.
Secondly, the USC chapter will also be able to help Bridgers improve their professional skills. Members will have the chance to undertake tasks, such as public relations, communication, graphic design, event organizing, and consulting, to enhance their experiences by serving on different Committees of the Chapter
Besides these social impacts and professional missions, The Bridge Academy at USC prioritizes the social engagement of our members. We view our group as a family and will frequently plan dinners, day trips, retreats, and a myriad of other social events!
Ultimately, for being one of the pioneering chapters pursuing a new but worthy goal, it is inevitable that the USC chapter may face many uncertainties and challenges. However, with greater uncertainty, comes greater opportunities and awards. Together, we can change the status quo and offer students a true sense of culture inclusion around campuses worldwide and create cultural stereotype-free zones for all communities
