Dear USC Community:

During this terrible fire season, I want to make sure that USC is doing all that it can to assist any member of the Trojan Family who has been affected. At this time we know of a few students, faculty, staff and alumni who have lost their homes, and we want to get the word out that, as Trojans, we are here to help if we can.

If you or your family has been displaced by the fires or you know of a fellow Trojan who has lost his or her home, I hope you will contact the USC Alumni Association at (213) 740-2300.

I want to commend our students, faculty, staff and alumni who are contributing to relief efforts. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who have suffered personal losses.

Sincerely,

Steven B. Sample
President
