Mission:
We are focused on creating events that will inspire and influence current college students to become social advocates for education and make a difference as the the future leaders of this great country.

Theme:
This year EdMonth’s focus will be "Future Leaders", which is centered on creating future leaders in the world of education, policy, technology, social advocacy, and everything that promotes social change. Every single field can contribute to the world of education, and we must become socially and emotionally connected to education reform to make that difference.

EdMonth Events:
  • Opening Kick-Off, a panel discussion with the top leaders in education reform.
    • Monday, March 4 - 7 to 9pm - Bovard Auditorium (Sponsored by Program Board, Academic Culture Assembly, Concerts Committee) https://www.facebook.com/events/446878692049877/EdConference: Student Leaders, an event that is structured and programmed by USC student leaders from different organizations. Each organization leads a workshop that is focused on different components of education
  • Friday, March 8 - 11am to 3pm - Radisson Hotel at USC

  • College 101 - The event will be in collaboration with KIPP LA to bring 120 KIPPsters to USC and provide a day-long college workshop series. The event will include campus tours, student panels, and workshops on how to prepare for college and be successful.

    • Do you want to leave your mark on USC forever? Have a professor you really love that you want everyone to know about? Know any insider USC secrets that any freshman would benefit from? Pass down your wisdom to future Trojan generations and add to Tommy's Tip Wall! We will be out on Trousdale every day from 12-2pm the second week of EdMonth. All of the wise words will be digitized forever for everyone to see and they are completely anonymous.  (Sponsored by Academic Culture Assembly, Special Events Committee) https://www.facebook.com/events/491459554251260/
