NomadUSC exists to give Central Asian students at USC the platform we currently lack. Although many of us are here, we are not represented by existing cultural groups-neither by the Slavic Club, for we are not Slavic, but Turkic and Iranic (an extremely important distinction), nor by APASA, for we are Eurasian. Our cultures, histories, and experiences sit in their own unique space, and NomadUSC was created to finally give that identity a home on campus.
Our mission begins with community. We bring Central Asian students together to create a warm, familiar environment that feels like home despite being thousands of miles away. Through our events, traditions, and shared culture, we give students the comfort, belonging, and support that every international and diaspora student deserves.
From that community, we grow. We seek to foster academic and professional development by inviting alumni, diplomats, public servants, human rights advocates, and leaders from across the post-Soviet world. We create space for meaningful political, social, and economic discussions-centered on the concrete steps our generation must take as future professionals to strengthen and uplift our countries. Members learn from one another, connect with mentors, and develop the confidence to think critically about Central Asia’s future.
And eventually, the circle completes itself. As we grow into educated, globally minded professionals, we will represent USC back home-in our industries, our governments, our cities, and our cultural communities. NomadUSC becomes the bridge: connecting Central Asia to USC, and USC back to Central Asia, through the students who pass through this club.

Membership Benefits
Members of NomadUSC gain access to a strong, active Central Asian community at USC. Benefits include:
A tight-knit cultural community where members can connect with others who share Central Asian backgrounds, languages, and traditions. Belonging.
Regular social events such as tailgates, potlucks, picnics, stargazing nights, UFC fight-night watch parties, and frequent Mafia game sessions.
Cultural programming that celebrates Kazakh and broader Central Asian identity through food, music, language, and shared traditions.
Academic and career support, including mentorship from upper-class students, course recommendations, internship advice, and connections to Central Asian professionals in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington.
Member-only group chats and updates, providing priority access to events, activities, and volunteering opportunities.
Leadership opportunities to help plan events, shape the club’s direction, and contribute to building a long-term USC cultural organization.
A home away from home, offering community, support, and a sense of belonging for international students and anyone interested in Central Asia.

Mission
The Mustard Seed Project is an innovative volunteer-based service for individuals experiencing homelessness; our mission is to provide low barrier access to basic needs and services for displaced communities around the USC campus & greater LA area. We foster a person-centered approach to homelessness services, and apply best practice and data driven techniques to homeless outreach. We hope to develop young leaders in professionalism, political competency, and ethics while educating the public, and the USC student body, about homelessness in their respective communities.
The Mustard Seed Project, which is affiliated with the International Mustard Seed Project Organization, follows a mission guided by a “hand up, not hand out” philosophy, to connect unsheltered individuals to services and programs through community organization, relationship-based outreach, and volunteer case management.
We hope to direct outreach and volunteer projects across Los Angeles to distribute basic supplies such as food and water to displaced populations; we will also work with our Chapter Advisors and the Directors of MSP to disseminate housing, pro-bono consulting, and work opportunities to displaced populations.

Membership Benefits
USC Mustard Seed Project defines membership on three different levels; Open Membership, General/Voting Membership, and Executive Membership.
Open membership is not restricted by dues, interviews, or application process – this entails that all members of the USC student body are free to join MSP as an Open Member without being bound by any restrictions. Open Members are able to attend all General Member meetings, and learn about homelessness in the Greater Los Angeles area. They will also be able to assist in the planning of volunteer events, and partake in two volunteer events per semester. Open Members will be able to learn about the legal, health, and economic implications of displacement in their community, enabling them to educate the rest of the USC student body about the mission of The Mustard Seed Project.
General/Voting Members must pay dues of $30.00USD/semester in order to be eligible to vote on matters concerning MSPSC, and have a larger stake in the planning and execution of events. On top of sharing the benefits of Open Membership, these members will also be able to attend more than two volunteer events a semester, and reap the benefits of hands-on and in-field relief with displaced communities in the GTLA area.
Executive Membership is limited to the Officers of the Mustard Seed Project; these positions are outlined in the organization's Constitution, and require a formal application and interview process. The details regarding this process can be found in the MSPSC Constitution. These members must still pay the $30.00USD/semester dues required for General Membership, but have the largest stake in planning and executing events. These members are required to attend all General Member meetings, as well as Executive Board meetings, and are responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the organization.

Mission
Trojan Health Interpretation Services' primary mission is to fulfill a demand for interpreters for the Limited English Proficient population in order to guarantee medical services for all. We will provide free health interpretation and translation services for people in and around the USC area. Another primary mission is to train bilingual students to become ad hoc interpreters through extensive medical vocabulary training and practice situations. We seek to provide our services to grassroots organizations that are working with limited resources; usually, these organizations provide free services and do not have the funds or the organizational structure to have a full-time interpreter. Ultimately, Trojan Health Interpretation Services actively works to provide free ad hoc interpretation services to the vast Limited English Proficient population in Los Angeles.

Membership Benefits
There are many membership benefits from joining Trojan Health Interpretation Services (THIS). First off, THIS members will learn important medical skills and terminology in the target language which they will then be able to utilize in the future. Not only that, but they will become equipped with the tools and skills to interpret because of their interpreter etiquette training. If a member decides to pursue a career path in medicine, these two skills combined could help them become a better health professional and allow them to aid as many people as possible. Furthermore, members will be able to get an inside look at what happens in interactions between patients and physicians while simultaneously positively impacting the local Limited English Proficient community.
