USC Football Deal for Grad Students and Recent Alumni!

USC Football Tickets

Hello,

This is Chris with USC athletics. We’ve official gone on sale for our 2019 football season! Both Grad Students and alumni that have graduated within the last 2 years are eligible for a buy one get one off deal!

With an offensive coordinator who ran a top 25 offense and our best schedule in over 5 years, we are primed for an exciting year in our newly renovated home.

I’ve worked with individual students to sit with a friend and also with groups of classmates that can take advantage of the BOGO deal and all sit together as a great source of camaraderie and team building.

If you purchase your tickets with me, I’ll give you personal attention to help you with significant discounts and our best seating inventory that you may not find otherwise.

Season ticket holders get the lowest price per game on the market as well as other benefits such as optional beer garden access, access to away and postseason games, and the ability to resell games you cannot attend.

Best regards,

Desktop and mobile apps are available to simplify the backup and storage process. For information on how to access and use OneDrive for Business, see OneDrive for Business on the ITS website.

Free tickets! An Octoroon Saturday, September 30 @ 2:30 p.m.

 

Hello Rossier students,

Faculty affiliate of the Center for Education, Identity and Social Justice Professor Anita Dashiell-Sparks is directing An Octoroon written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins for USC School of Dramatic Arts this weekend at the McClintock Theatre on campus. Professor Darnell Cole has 9 pre-paid tickets available to offer to students for the show on Saturday, September 30, at 2:30 p.m.

Please sign up on this Google spreadsheet if you are interested in attending – first come, first serve: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fjQ6tDL01NwoGEPn6TjAfnosCrqnXYupmEOKGkw9mbY/edit?usp=sharing. If you are the first 9 to sign up on this google spreadsheet, you are confirmed a spot and you can pick up your tickets from Dr. Cole right before the play at the theater. He will be arriving earlier to the theater.

Information on the play:

Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a provocative new voice in American theatre, brings a radical, incendiary and subversively funny riff on Dion Boucicault’s once-popular 1859 mustache-twirling melodrama. This Obie Award-winning hall of mirrors skewers outdated sensibilities about race and narrative with acerbic humor and spectacular theatricality. An Octoroon is “this decade’s most eloquent theatrical statement on race in America today.” – The New York Times

Thank you so much for your time!

Best,

Center for Education, Identity and Social Justice

USC Rossier School of Education, WPH 1003
