Fall 2018 USC Safe Ride Program presented by Lyft

Posted on

Welcome back, USC students!  As the Fall semester gets started, we’re happy again to partner with Lyft to provide the USC Safe Ride program.  Program parameters remain the same as last year – if a pre-registered student uses the Lyft app to travel within USC Safe Ride boundaries between the hours of 7:00pm and 2:00am, seven nights a week, then USC will pay for that ride.

Specific details and reminders for the Fall 2018  program appear below:

  • Invites will be sent from this email address to each student this Thursday, August 16th. Do not share your invite – it is unique for each user and can only be activated once!
  • Program resumes on Saturday, August 18th at 7:00pm
  • How it works

o   Activate your account through the link in the invite

o   Take a SHARED ride in USC Safe Ride boundaries between the hours of 7:00pm-2:00am

o   If your ride qualifies it will say FREE

o   Program works with credits that apply to your ride and you’ll get a 0.00 receipt.  Credits cover you and the extra charge for 1 friend.

  • NOTE: Credits don’t cover high primetime fares, cancellations, or tips!  These charges will be the student’s responsibility.

o   Hours may change for special events, such as football games; watch for notifications or check our website (www.usc.edu/parking) for announcements

o   A flyer detailing the program is attached, along with a map of the approved pick-up and drop-off Rideshare Zones. Please note pick-ups and drop-offs are not allowed at any time along the length of 34th Street within campus, nor at the Pardee Entrance (Entrance 2) off Exposition Blvd.

 

Please review the attachments, and look for our program invite email on August 16th.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Free digital storytelling workshop!

Posted on

Dear Students,

Once again, this year we are partnering with StoryCenter to hold a free digital storytelling workshop for students. Our goal is to better communicate who USC Rossier students are and why you are passionate about a career in education.  In the three-day workshop, you will be assisted in writing, narrating and editing a short, first person video. We post the videos on our website, share them in our enewsletters, with other students and friends of the School. HERE and HERE are two examples of stories that came out of past workshops.

 

This year the workshop will be held from 9-5pm Tuesday August 14th through Thursday August 16th at Waite Phillips Hall.

 

The workshop is free to you, but there is only space for a small number of students.  If you would like to participate, please write a short paragraph about why you are pursuing your degree, what you hope to accomplish in your career, and why you think the workshop would be valuable.  Put Digital Storytelling in the subject line and email it to carlawohl@rossier.usc.edu by May 31st.

The Purple Gavel Group (PGG) is launching this August!

Posted on

Hello Fellow Trojans,

The Purple Gavel Group (PGG) is launching this August and needs your support!

PGG is a California based non-profit organization with a specific focus on empowering teens and young adults from primarily low-income communities through strategic counseling programs, conferences and events, and through access to relevant legal and professional workshops and web content.

As a former Rossier graduate student, educator and counselor, it is important to me to share our vision with like-minded educators and professionals and build momentum around our mission to empower, educate, and elevate our youth in certain under-represented communities. I am currently reaching out to all of my personal and professional networks to share our information and build support in any way we can including strategic partnerships, volunteers, counseling/ MFT interns, sharing of information, donations, etc.

My direct line is below and I can be reached at any time. This mission is very near and dear to my heart and I welcome all suggestions, recommendations, and advisement. We aim to get this right and truly impact the communities we serve.

Thank you!

Allison L. Sherman
