Adulting 101 Series
Plan for the Future
The Adulting 101 series of events is designed to help junior and senior students develop skills that will help them in life outside the four walls of the classroom - skills every adult needs to succeed! Workshops are designed for third- and fourth-year students, but all USC students are welcome to attend!
