The USC Rossier School of Education Staff Advancement Committee strives to serve as a board to create programming opportunities for our staff to engage in professional development, community engagement, and wellness initiatives. In an effort to promote local community engagement we invite staff, and all who would like to participate, to donate a holiday gift for PreK-12 grade students assisted by the Los Angeles Unified School District Homeless Education Program. Our hope is that students receive an item that brings them joy during the holiday season. Participants who contribute will receive one raffle ticket per donated item for an opportunity to win our Grand Prize!
