J-1 events and activities

There is almost always something happening here at USC.  You will find art exhibits, evening lectures, music performances, lunch discussions and many other opportunities happening on campus all the time.  Many of these events are free while others request an RSVP or require a ticket.  As J-1 scholars you and your dependents are invited to participate in anything you find interesting.  Unfortunately, there is not one place to go to learn about everything happening on campus.  Below are links to help you begin learning about what USC has to offer.

In addition to the various activities sponsored by USC, it’s academic departments and student clubs, OIS offers events that cater specifically to the J-1 scholar population.  Please click on the links at left to learn more about our Ongoing, Upcoming and Past Events and Activities.

We are very interested in providing opportunities for J-1 scholars to meet one another and make the most of your time here in Los Angeles.  If you have ideas about things we can do to promote interaction within the J-1 community please feel free to share your ideas with us.  You can make an appointment with an OIS advisor or e-mail us at: zmwillia@usc.edu or j1exchg@usc.edu.
