This event is currently sold out, please contact blackhealthiswealth1@gmail.com to keep updated on future programming for the Black Trojan community or to be alerted if spots become available in the future.
This summit emerged from the recognition of the lack of restorative and healing spaces for Black male identified students at USC and in the larger community. We aim to have provoking conversations and learn practical skills regarding mental wellbeing, relationships, leadership, and more. Lunch, Snacks, and Swag Bags with gift cards will be provided! Must be a current USC student to register.
