SCA Community Impact Council Meeting

February 25, 2026, 10:30-11:30 AM

SCA 255

Hi SCA Trojans,

I am writing to ask for your help in making SCA as welcoming and supportive a community as possible! All you need to do is join the SCA Community Impact Council, a group of students, faculty, and staff working together on programming, initiatives, and community support. Our first meeting of the semester is on Wednesday, February 25, 10:30–11:30 AM (SCA 255). The SCA Community Impact Council is open to all members of the SCA community. We hope to see you there!

Spring semester meeting schedule: (2/25, 3/25, 4/22 at 10:30 AM in SCA 255).

In addition, each SCA division has faculty or staff representatives on the Council, called Community Liaisons. These liaisons are available to support you, answer questions, and provide a space to share concerns or ideas. You can reach out to your division’s liaison or anyone on the list below.

If you have any general questions, feel free to email us at impact@cinema.usc.edu. We look forward to seeing you at our meetings and working together to strengthen our community.

Warmly, The SCA Community Impact Council Community
