I am an academic advisor!<\/p>\n
Q: I\u2019d say at the moment, the most common question I\u2019ve been getting is \u201ccan I add a minor?\u201d I then ask students which minor they are looking at and their career\/life goals. This way, I can assess whether or not their desired plan is a good personal fit or if something else might fit better. And then we can look at their current course plan to see if it will physically fit, and go from there! <\/p>\n
I love the Spirit of Troy Marching Band! My high school in Colorado had the same colors and fight song as USC, so it\u2019s super nostalgic to hear them play! I was also a music major and a huge marching band geek, so that helps as well.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m brand new to SDA so I\u2019ve only seen Sondheim on Sondheim<\/em>, which was excellent! However, Rent<\/em> is one of my all-time favorite musicals so I\u2019m beyond excited to see it next year!.<\/p>\n
I run a blog about the Colorado Rockies baseball team called Purple Row and am a credentialed member of the media. I have covered the Rockies as a journalist for the last 5.5 years and was able to cover the 2021 MLB All-Star Game in Denver, which was one of the highlights of my life!<\/p>\nAspen Cole<\/h2>\n

\nI am an academic advisor<\/p>\n
\nThe most common question I get is “Can I double major or minor?” to which I most likely will say, “It depends on how many extra units you have available, your program of interest, and how long you intend to be at USC for. We can update your course plan during your mandatory advising appointment and see what option works best for you.” <\/p>\n
\nSAGE (Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment)<\/p>\n
\nMy favorite shows at SDA thus far have been we, the invisibles<\/em>, and of course, one of my favorite musicals, Spring Awakening<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nThe arts are a huge part of my life. I majored in Theatre with an Acting emphasis at UCLA and currently dance with the Leigh Purtill Ballet Company.<\/p>\n\nMeghan Laughlin<\/h2>\n

Director of Internships & Special Programs. I help students find cool opportunities outside USC and bring in awesome guest artists!<\/p>\n
Q: “What kind of internship can I get?”
A: Meet with me! Let\u2019s talk about your goals and interests and see what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
Visions and Voices. It\u2019s not technically an \u201corganization\u201d… but the programs and events they offer all year are AMAZING \u2014 and free!<\/p>\n
Our 2012 production of City of Angels<\/em> still reigns supreme for me. I loved everything about it \u2014 direction, design, performances. That cast and crew nailed it! Urinetown<\/em> in spring 2023 is a close second.\n<\/p>\n
I got my BA in Theatre from Michigan State University, and my job allows me to be a \u2018forever theatre major\u2019 (the best undergrad major ever\u2026). I love campus, our theatres and SDA students! <\/p>\n\nMabel Lopez<\/h2>\n

Office Manager of Admissions & Student Services.<\/p>\n
Q: How can I register for a class with a \u201cD\u201d?
A: You may submit a \u201cD\u201d (Departmental) clearance on our student portal at sdastudents.usc.edu and select D-Clearance Course request.<\/p>\n
All Acapella groups.<\/p>\n
My favorite was Grease<\/em>!<\/p>\n
I love to sing so much that I joined my church choir six years ago.<\/p>\n\nSergio Ramirez<\/h2>\n

Associate Dean of Admissions & Student Services.<\/p>\n
Q: What does it take to get into USC?
A: Academically, it takes hard work and to take the most rigorous curriculum at your high school. Artistically, it takes imagination and a driving spirit.<\/p>\n
SoCal Vocals. I love listening to them!<\/p>\n
My favorite musical would be Grease<\/em>. My favorite stage-play would be The Kentucky Cycle<\/em>.<\/p>\n
When I am not cheering on my USC Trojans, I love watching old movies and TV shows.<\/p>\nRam\u00f3n Valdez<\/h2>\n

I am the Assistant Director of Admissions. In my role, I work with prospective students to our undergraduate and graduate programs through the application process.<\/p>\n
Q: What is your favorite thing about USC?
A: For me, my favorite thing is the people. In my experience at USC, from being a student in the classroom to my work in admissions, the variety of personalities, experiences and unique offerings everyone brings to our dynamic community is extremely rewarding.<\/p>\n
The Spirit of Troy. The Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe.<\/p>\n
Grapes of Wrath<\/em>.<\/p>\n
I share my name with a very well-known Mexican actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
