Upcoming Alumni Events
While our students may leave Los Angeles to embark on their careers, further studies, and the other journeys of life, USC and Hillel never leaves them. Our alumni will always be members of our Jewish Trojan Family and we hope you'll reconnect with us at an USC Jewish Alumni Association event:
Becoming a Soulful Parent: The College Years
Sunday, February 21, 11:00 AM PST, Zoom
Join USC Hillel in conversation with Dasee Berkowitz, author of Becoming a Soulful Parent: A path to the wisdom within, about inter-generational relationships, co-parenting, parenting during a pandemic, and a host of other topics to help you strengthen “muscles” that will be essential for both parents and children throughout their lives — muscles like love, listening, empathy, and curiosity. Register here.
Salt in my Soul: An Unfinished Life
Thursday, March 4, 4:00 PM PST, Zoom
In partnership with the Keck School of Medicine of USC (CME credit offered)
The Keck School of Medicine of USC and USC Hillel's Bradley Sonnenberg Wellness Initiative invite you to join us for an inspiring and engaging talk about the life and legacy of Mallory Smith, author of Salt in My Soul: An Unfinished Life. Salt in My Soul: An Unfinished Life is a compilation of Mallory’s journal entries written from age 15 to her death from cystic fibrosis at 25. Mallory's mother, Diane Shader Smith, will share the heartwarming yet heart wrenching story of her daughter's life in a virtual talk illustrated with 150 intriguing photographs, followed by an open Q & A session. Attendees can earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. Register here.
