SCAA Associations

Welcome to the Trojan Family!

The Keck Parents Association is not just for parents—our members include spouses, grandparents, siblings, and other family members who join us at events and get involved to support to their medical students. The association keeps family informed about the many academic resources available for your student at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, while providing programming including: New Parent Orientation, the White Coat Ceremony, our bi-annual virtual town hall meetings, wellness activities, our Step-One Care Packages, and the Homecoming Pre-Game Tailgate. The Parents Association Executive Board meets quarterly, twice in-person and twice virtually, and each gathering features a guest speaker from the medical school.

We also make a big impact on the lives of Keck Students through the Parents Association Endowed Scholarship Fund and extracurricular assistance in times of need through our Student Support Fund.

Please contact Valerie Reyna, associate director of alumni relations, at: valerie.reyna@med.usc.edu to find out how you can get involved and show your support.
