Topping Student Center

The Topping Student Center (TSC) provides organizational and programming consultation, meeting space for student organizations and other services for USC students.

TSC staff provide information about upcoming events and assist with scheduling facilities for the university community. Peer Leadership Consultants (PLC) are available at the center to advise student organizations, suggest program ideas and offer advice on ways to improve an organization’s effectiveness. The consultants also provide information regarding funding sources and procedures, promotion techniques, event planning, university facilities, resources and leadership skills.

How to Get Involved

Belonging to a group that shares your interests can enrich your college experience. Academic interest groups, honor societies, sports clubs, religious organizations, groups with a focus on political or social issues, service organizations and clubs with primarily social purposes are among the official student organizations at USC. For a list of organizations and contact information, visit the student organization Web site at www.usc.edu/stuorgs or refer to “Student Organizations.”

Once you decide to get involved with a particular student organization, you can call or email the president, go to their meetings or put a note in one of the organization mailboxes. Involvement fairs are held twice a year to give you the opportunity to meet student organization representatives and learn how to join a group.
